The term "vegetable oil" can be narrowly defined as referring only to plant oils that are liquid at room temperature, or broadly defined without regard to a substance's state of matter at a given temperature. For this reason, vegetable oils that are solid at room temperature are sometimes called vegetable fats. In contrast to these triglycerides, vegetable waxes lack glycerin in their structure. Although many plant parts may yield oil, in commercial practice, oil is extracted primarily from seeds. - Maize (; "Zea mays" subsp. "mays", from after Taino "mahiz"), also known as corn, is a large grain plant first domesticated by indigenous peoples in Mexico about 10,000 years ago. The six major types of corn are dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, popcorn, flour corn, and sweet corn. - Southern California, often abbreviated as SoCal, is a geographic and cultural region that generally comprises California's 10 southernmost counties. The region is traditionally described as eight counties, based on demographics and economic ties: Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Ventura. The more extensive 10-county definition, which includes Kern and San Luis Obispo counties, is also used based on historical political divisions. Southern California is a major economic center for the state of California and the United States. - Arepa is a type of food made of ground maize dough or cooked flour prominent in the cuisine of Colombia and Venezuela. - Masa is Spanish for dough. Although the word is mostly used to refer to any kind of dough, in some regions (Mexico, parts of Central America and the American South West) it is often short for "masa de maiz", a maize (corn) dough made from freshly prepared hominy. It is used for making corn tortillas, tamales, "pupusas", and many other Latin American dishes. The dried and powdered form is called "masa harina", "masa de harina", and sometimes "Maseca", the name of a leading commercial brand. It is reconstituted with water before use. Masa is not to be confused with "masarepa", "masa de arepa", or "masa al instante", a type of unnixtamalized, soaked, and cooked cornmeal used to make arepas. "Masa de trigo" is Spanish for wheat flour dough. It is also used for making wheat tortillas and other breads and pastries. - A tortilla chip ( / trti. tp / , Spanish : ( tortia tip ) ) is a snack food made from corn tortillas , which are cut into wedges and then fried -- or baked ( alternatively they may be discs pressed out of corn masa then fried or baked ) .

Some manufacturers include many other ingredients including wheat , sugar , and MSG . - In Mexico and Central America, a tortilla is a type of thin, unleavened flat bread, made from finely ground maize (corn). In Guatemala and Mexico, there are three colors of maize dough for making tortillas: white maize, yellow maize and blue maize (or black maize). - SEED is a block cipher developed by the Korea Information Security Agency (KISA). It is used broadly throughout South Korean industry, but seldom found elsewhere. It gained popularity in Korea because 40-bit encryption was not considered strong enough, so the Korea Information Security Agency developed its own standard. However, this decision has historically limited the competition of web browsers in Korea, as no major SSL libraries or web browsers supported the SEED algorithm, requiring users to use an ActiveX control in Internet Explorer for secure web sites.
