Oil separation from wet-milled corn germ dispersions by aqueous oil

  • What is corn germ oil?
  • Corn germ oil is a by-product of the corn oil milling process. Most corn that is harvested is used as feed but the proportion of the corn that is milled is increasing because of bioethanol production. During the wet milling process, the germ is isolated from the starch using cyclone separators, washed, and dried.
  • 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–Scan, 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 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.
  • Is corn germ hard to process?
  • But because corn germ can be notoriously tough to process, it requires the right extraction equipment to press oil efficiently to get optimal returns. Here’s what you need to know about processing corn germ to capitalize on the commercial value of its oil. Whole corn kernels only contain a small amount of fat, around 5% by weight.
