  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 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%.
  • 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 percentage of corn kernel oil is stored in corn 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%¨C41%), protein (12%¨C21%) and starch (6%¨C21%) is also influenced by growing conditions, genetic factors, and isolation methods .
