  • How to extract oil from corn germ during flour processing?
  • This work aimed the recovery of oil and protein fractions from corn germ (CG) generated as a by-product during flour processing. Several oil extraction techniques were investigated: hexane at room temperature, hexane at 45 °C, supercritical carbon dioxide (Sc-CO 2) and Soxhlet with hexane and ethanol.
  • 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.
  • What is the process of industrialization of corn oil?
  • The process of industrialization of corn oil, in general, is divided into two main stages: the extraction of crude oil which also yields a corn oil cake coproduct and the subsequent refining of the crude oil.
  • How is corn germ extracted from the corn?
  • The first step of processing corn germ from wet milling or dry milling is to prepare the seed for oil removal. The seed is delivered clean, but additional cleaning with a magnet and screener may be done to remove any impurities or fines. For dry-milled germ, the seed is then conditioned, flaked, and sent to solvent extraction.
  • Does Tempering degerming reduce endosperm fractions in corn germ-bran mixture?
  • The tempering-degerming process implemented to achieve the corn germ-bran mixture may let more endosperm fractions attached to the germ than the dry mechanical degerming and bran separation implemented by Castelmais. 3.2. Oil recovery and characterization Table 1 summarizes data of yields and oil composition for the different extraction methods.
  • 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.
