Corn Oil: Composition, Processing, and Utilization

Oil and protein recovery from corn germ: Extraction yield,

  • 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 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.
  • What is corn germ?
  • Corn germ is a substantial byproduct of the wet milling and alcohol industry of corn. Corn germ (dry) contains 35–56 % oil, with linoleic acid (C18:2) being the predominant fatty acid (49–61.9 %) and the highest level of tocopherol and phytosterol amongst all vegetable oils, which is a cost-effective resource for healthy nutritious oil.
  • What is corn germ oil used for?
  • Corn germ oil (CGO) is used in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic productions. Recently, it has been considered a feedstock for biodiesel production, particularly in the integrated production with ethanol ( Veljković et al., 2018). The major fatty acids of CGO are linoleic (39–63%), oleic (20–42%) and palmitic (9–17%) acid.
