  • What is the process of industrialization of corn oil?
  • The process of industrialization of corn oil, in general, is divided into two main stages: the extraction of crude oil which also yields a corn oil cake coproduct and the subsequent refining of the crude oil.
  • What are the steps in chemical refining of corn oil?
  • In chemical refining, the crude or degummed corn oil is subjected to the steps of neutralization, clarification, winterization, and deodorization, for the removal of FFA, pigments, waxes, and odoriferous compounds, respectively.
  • What is solvent extraction of corn germ?
  • Solvent extraction of corn germ is the process of greater industrial use because it allows the effective extraction of practically all the corn oil leaving a defatted germ meal with less than 1% residual oil.
  • Why is corn a staple food in Nigeria?
  • Corn is a staple food in Nigeria for several reasons. It is highly demanded in the country for food consumption as well as in the brewing industries and Livestock feed manufacturing Industry. In the confectionery and food industry, corn is used to produce corn syrup, corn oil, cornflour, and corn flakes.
  • What is a prepress or dual corn oil extraction process?
  • Fig. 21.1. Flowchart of the typical prepress or dual corn oil extraction process. If the corn germ has high-oil content, as in the case of the one obtained by wet-milling, the operation will require the use of pressure and heat to disrupt cell walls and break the oil containing spherosomes.
  • How is corn oil extracted?
  • For extraction of corn oil, compressed carbon dioxide is fed in a SFE reactor, which contains the flaked germ, with temperature close to 50°C and pressure between 351 and 562 kg/cm 2. After depressurizing the system, the oil is collected in a reservoir.
