  • 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.
  • Why is corn refining important?
  • The growth of corn refining over the last twenty years, has led to greater supplies of corn oil being available for domestic consumption while also contributing to the U.S. balance of trade through exports. The modern corn refining process creates various food and industrial starches, sweeteners, alcohols, oil, feed ingredients and bioproducts.
  • What is corn germ oil?
  • Most of the commercial corn oil is extracted from the germ and this is commonly known as “corn germ oil.” The germ from wet-milling operations (see Chapter 18) is recovered with up to 50% oil, which must be quickly processed because of its low microbiological and chemical stability.
