Phospholipids

http://www.soyatech.com/corn_facts.htm
"...Corn oil, which is extracted from corn germ, has high polyunsaturated fatty acid content and oxidative stability. Its largest single use is in bottled oil for consumer use, followed by margarine and industrial snack-frying operations.

By removing free fatty acids and phospholipids from crude corn oil, the oil refining process gives corn oil one of the qualities consumers value most: its excellent frying quality and resistance to smoking or discoloration. It also has a pleasant taste, resists developing off-flavors.

In addition, refiners produce starches, sweeteners and ethanol -- all made from the starch portion of the corn.

Corn starch, which is derived from the endosperm of the corn kernel, is a mainstay of the corn refining industry. It has a wide range of industrial and food applications..."

Dry Paste

"Agotar" in this context would mean to remove all of the liquid. A dry paste is left.
I hope this is helpful.
