  • 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 isolated 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.
  • How is corn germ oil extracted?
  • In most industries, corn germ oil is extracted by pre-pressing and solvent to improve the yield of corn germ oil . Recent study demonstrated that the corn germ oil extracted by supercritical CO 2 could improve the antioxidant capacity of oil without lowering the profile of fatty acids .
  • What is corn germ?
  • is a part of the corn kernel where is separated from the starch, fiber and gluten by the extraction process of the corn wet milling industry. Corn germ is widely applied for food and livestock diets. Corn germ is an excellent source of energy in livestock diets.
  • Where does corn oil come from?
  • Most commercial corn oil is obtained from corn germ that is a by-product of the wet milling industry (Moreau, 2002; 2005). The wet milling process was developed in the late 1800s to optimize the production of corn starch from corn kernels.
  • What is a co-product of a corn kernel?
  • The first co-product is corn germ, which contains 40¨C50% oil (Table 3-A). The corn germ fraction from the wet milling process represents about 5% of the mass of the kernel (Moreau et al., 1999b).
