  • 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 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
