  • How is corn germ oil extracted?
  • Before oil extraction, the corn germ was ground by a domestic grinder (Braun, Germany) for 2 min. The CGO content of the corn germ determined by the Soxhlet extraction using n -hexane (HPLC grade; Lab¨CScan, Ireland) at the SGR of 3:1 mL/g for 3 h was 45.35 ± 0.32 g/100 g dried germ. 2.2.

  • How is corn oil extracted?
  • In the process of corn oil extraction, the germ passes through conditioning operations (heating, humidification and extrusion), to then be submitted to oil extraction by expeller (pre-pressing) and solvent extraction, with hexane being the solvent chosen by processors ( Moreau, 2005 ).
  • Can oil and protein extracts be recovered from corn germ?
  • Oil and proteins were successfully recovered from corn germ by a biorefinery scheme. Oil extraction yield and TPC of oils were influenced by the polarity of solvents. The protein content of recovered extracts ranged from 20 to 48%. The functionality of protein extracts depended on the defatting pretreatment.
  • How to extract protein from corn germ?
  • Extraction of protein from wet and finished wet-milled corn germ by using a homogenizer/disintegrator and 0.1 M NaCl at 40 °C resulted in ca. 30% extraction efficiency.
