A method of recovering an oil composition from a fermentation process comprising the steps of:
- fermenting a starch composition to form a fermented product comprising an oil fraction and a first aqueous portion;
- separating an oil fraction from the first aqueous portion, wherein the oil fraction comprises the oil composition and from 10% to 60% moisture w/w moisture based on the total weight of the separated oil fraction;
- adjusting the pH of the oil fraction to produce the oil composition and a second aqueous portion;
- and
- recovering the oil composition from the pH adjusted oil fraction, such that the recovered oil composition comprises no greater than about 2% moisture and a free fatty acid content of up to 15% w/w based on the total weight of the oil composition.

A corn oil composition comprising corn oil characterized by:
- a free fatty acid content of no greater than 15% w/w based on the total weight of the composition;
- an iodine value of not greater than 125;
- a combined moisture and insoluble content of no greater than 1% w/w based on the total weight of the composition;
- and
- at least one further component selected from:
- a lutein content of at least 50 mcg/g,
- a cis-lutein/zeaxanthin content of at least 10 mcg/g,
- an alpha-cryptoxanthin content of at least 5 mcg/g,
- a beta-cryptoxanthin content of at least 5 mcg/g,
- an alpha-carotene content of at least 0.5 mcg/g, and/or
- a cis-beta-carotene content of at least 0.1 mcg/g.
