  • How is oil extracted from corn germs?
  • An improved aqueous extraction method has been established for extraction of oil from corn germs. This method primarily included steam explosion pretreatment and aqueous ethanol extraction. Process variables such as steam pressure, resident time, particle size and ethanol concentration were investigated.
  • How is corn germ extracted from starch?
  • During the wet milling process, the germ is isolated from the starch using cyclone separators, washed, and dried. The dried germ contains about 50% oil, in which the oil constitutes about 85% of the total amount of oil present in the corn. The oil is produced by first expelling the germ and then extracting the expeller cake with n -hexane.
  • What is corn germ?
  • Corn germ is a substantial byproduct of the wet milling and alcohol industry of corn. Corn germ (dry) contains 35¨C56 % oil, with linoleic acid (C18:2) being the predominant fatty acid (49¨C61.9 %) and the highest level of tocopherol and phytosterol amongst all vegetable oils, which is a cost-effective resource for healthy nutritious oil.
  • Can aqueous ethanol extract corn germ oil?
  • This result proved the preponderance of aqueous ethanol method again. In this study, an efficient and eco-friendly extraction process was developed by the aqueous ethanol extraction with steam explosion pretreatment for obtaining corn germ oil.
