  • 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 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.
  • 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.
  • Is corn kernel oil a recovery germ?
  • Typically, the crude oil of corn kernel (4%) is almost stored in corn germ and the entire germ mainly contains oil (48%), protein (13%), and starch (12%). However, the recovery germ composition in oil (18%–41%), protein (12%–21%) and starch (6%–21%) is also influenced by growing conditions, genetic factors, and isolation methods [33 ].
