Abstract

Methods of producing light-color, color stable plant oils are presented. Cationic ion exchange resins have been found to be effective in removing color bodies from plant oils to produce a light-color, color stable plant oil. The methods may be applied to plant oils, including corn oil. Color stable corn oils having a light color are also presented.
