  • 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.

Global annual corn production is 700 million tonnes but corn oil production is only 400 000 tonnes.
  • Can corn germs be milled before oil extraction?
  • Grinding oilseeds prior to oil extraction may enlarge the interface between material particles and aqueous solvent or enzyme, and then enhance free oil yield. In previous research, colloid milling was employed to mill corn germs (Dickey et al. 2010 ). In this study, a dry milling method was developed to grind corn germ.
  • 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.
  • Where did dry corn germ come from?
  • Dry corn germ was purchased from Xing Mao Corn Development Co. Ltd., Shandong Province, China. The raw material (dry corn germ) contained 6¨C7 % ( w /w, wet basis) moisture content, 16 % ( w /w, wet basis) crude protein and about 37 % ( w /w, wet basis) crude oil.
