Efficient and eco-friendly extraction of corn germ oil using
Introduction. Corn germ is a substantial byproduct of the wet milling and alcohol industry of corn. Corn germ (dry) contains 35–56 % oil, with linoleic acid (C18:2) being the predominant fatty acid (49–61.9 %) and the highest level of tocopherol and phytosterol amongst all vegetable oils, which is a cost-effective resource for healthy nutritious oil.
Cyclone separators spin the low density corn germ out of the slurry. The germs, containing about 85 percent of corn's oil, are pumped onto screens and washed repeatedly to remove any starch left in the mixture. A combination of mechanical and solvent processes extracts the oil from the germ. The oil is then refined and filtered into finished
Development and Utilization of Corn Processing by-Products: A
5.1. Corn Germ Oil. Corn germ oil is a nutritious and healthy edible oil. It has a transparent golden yellow color and a fragrant fragrance. It is called “liquid gold” by Western countries. Corn germ oil contains 80–85% of unsaturated fatty acids, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and α-linolenic acid. The content of linoleic acid is as high as
Therefore, commercial corn oil is mostly extracted from corn germ and is commonly known as corn germ oil. Corn germ oil is one of the nutritional vegetable oils with a high content of unsaturated fatty acids (≥ 80%), especially linoleic acid (≥ 50%) (Table 4), total trans fatty acid content was

Working process of corn germ oil refinery plant: 1.pump crude corn germ oil into refining tank and heat with conduction oil, and the temperature will reach about 70°C-80°C after one hour. 2.Add acid or alkali to separate according to the acid value. After one hour's processing and 4-6hours deposit, then convey soap stock to storage tank.
Corn germ oil is an industrial product characterized by high polyunsaturated fatty acids, low saturated fatty acids, essential amino acids, fatty acids, polysterols and tocopherols. Oil is a specialty trait for plant breeders in maize which is also useful and unique.
Corn Germ, an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Corn germ oil ( Zea mays) 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.
Crude corn oil usually contains about 3% FFA and phosphorus content in the range from 300 to 1000 mg/kg. It also contains pigments, such as xanthophylls and carotenes, as well as waxes and insoluble components. This oil may also contain oxidation products, mycotoxins, and residues of pesticides and insecticides.

Alkali treatment can also be used to refine the resultant corn oil. Edible Corn / Maize Germ Oil Refinery Plant. Phosphatides are removed in the edible oil refinery process. When alkali treatment is used it removes color and neutralizes free fatty acids. Corn oil refinery process in the final stages include the removal of wax in a process known
