Efficient and eco-friendly extraction of corn germ oil using aqueous
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.
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
Bioactive Phytochemicals from Corn (Zea mays) Germ Oil Processing By
In general, it is verified that corn oil processing by-product has a dry matter content of 89.0%, crude protein around 10.6%, the crude fiber of 4.6%, ether extract close to 1.34%, in addition to calcium, phosphorus, several amino acids such as methionine, lysine, and tryptophan [ 22, 23, 24 ].
This process is called “wet milling” because the corn is pre-soaked to soften the kernel and begin separating it into its constituent parts. It’s then fed through a series of mills and centrifuges. These separate the germ, starch, fiber, and gluten proteins. These are then separately processed to create various food additives and other
Biodiesel production from corn oil: A review
Corn with an oil content level above 6% is designated 'high oil corn'. The corn germ is the most important part of the kernel for oil production. Corn germ contains 35–56% oil, linoleic acid being the most common fatty acid (49–61.9%) [23]. In addition, corn germ contains about 1–3% phosphatides, 1% sterols, and 1.5% FFAs.
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.
Oil and protein recovery from corn germ: Extraction yield, composition
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.
Corn Germ and its amazing applications. Corn germ, popularly known as maize germ is the germ which makes up for 6-8% of the total weight of the corn grain. It also consists of 50% of the total oil quantity present in corn. It plays the role of the primary product that is used to make corn oil and also forms an important ingredient of animal
Corn Oil: Composition, Processing, and Utilization
Prospects of Maize (Corn) Wet Milling By-Products as a Source of Functional Food Ingredients and Nutraceuticals. Maize (corn) consists of distinct parts, germ, endosperm, and pericarp, with different chemical compositions. During the maize wet milling process, the maize is disintegrated into the main product….
Designed for difficult-to-process materials like corn germ, palm kernel, and grapeseed, the Duo’s unique dual-pressing action can reduce residual oils to 5-6% in a single pass. Models of this machine from the 1930s are still operating today, earning the Duo a reputation as the most durable, long-lasting press in the oilseed extraction industry.
