Zusammenfassung:A method for altering one or more properties of asphalt is described comprising combining recycled asphalt and a corn oil composition forming an asphalt mix composition, or combining virgin asphalt and a corn oil composition forming an asphalt binder blend composition, the corn oil composition for altering at least one property of the asphalt mix or asphalt binder blend composition relative to a corresponding asphalt mix or asphalt binder blend composition, respectively, that lacks the corn oil composition. The corn oil composition has a fatty acid ethyl ester content greater than 7% w/w to about 80% w/w based on total weight of the corn oil composition, and the at least one property altered includes viscosity, ATc value, rutting or thermal cracking, the corn oil composition comprises a free fatty acid content comprising at least one fatty acid of C16 palmitic, C18 stearic, C18-1 oleic, C18-2 linoleic, or C18-3 linolenic. L'invention concerne des compositions d'huile végétale, par exemple, de l'huile de maïs, ayant une teneur élevée en ester d'alkyl inférieur qui est supérieure à environ 7 % en poids du poids total de la composition d'huile, et leurs utilisations.
