  • 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.
  • How is corn oil produced?
  • 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. Global annual corn production is 700 million tonnes but corn oil production is only 400 000 tonnes.
  • 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 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).
  • 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.
