  • 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.
  • What is the future of corn oil?
  • The future of corn oil is promising because more than 1 billion tons of corn kernels are harvested throughout the globe and the extracted oil has good oxidative stability and excellent nutritional attributes and can be further processed into value-added ingredients and food. J. Supercrit.
  • How to extract oil from corn germ without hexane?
  • The aqueous enzymatic method was developed to extract oil from corn germ without hexane or other organic solvents. When using corn germ samples from wet-milling operations, yields ranging from 80% to 90% corn oil were obtained using commercial cellulose, whereas in the absence of enzymes, oil yields were only between 27% and 37%.
  • Does corn oil need a degumming operation?
  • According to Moreau (2005), the degumming operation of corn oil is mandatory only when the oil will be further refined via physical refining process. Refining can be defined as a set of serial steps for transforming crude oils into edible oils. Basically, there are two types of refining operations, chemical and physical.
  • What is The unsaponifiable material in corn oil?
  • The unsaponifiable matter includes minority compounds which cannot be saponified by the usual treatment with caustic soda, but are soluble in oils and fats. Corn oil contains 1.3%¨C2.3% of unsaponifiable material, consisting mainly of phytosterols, tocopherols, tocotrienols, and squalene (Moreau, 2005; O'Brien, 2008).
