How is Corn Oil Extracted? | Trucent
Wet milling—as primarily a food production process—relies on a traditional food-production friendly solvent-based method of extracting corn oil, which usually relies on hexane. Hexane is extremely effective in this role (capturing 90 percent of the corn oil), and relatively easy to remove from the resulting extract, leaving pure corn oil
commercial production of corn oil took place in 1889. Refined corn oil is tasteless and odorless oil. Corn oil is used as a cooking medium and for manufacturing hydrogenated oil. Figure 1. a. Parts of corn kernel, b. Nutrient composition of corn kernels Corn having oil content of more than 6% is called high oil corn.
Corn Oil: Composition, Processing, and Utilization
High-oil corn (HOC) genotypes adapted to temperate and subtropical regions containing up to 8% oil have been developed. Industrially, the oil is extracted from germ coproducts containing 25%–50% oil obtained from dry-milling (see Chapter 15) or wet-milling (see Chapter 18) operations.
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….
A comparison of commercial enzymes for the aqueous enzymatic extraction
By using oven-dried corn germ samples (6 g) from a commercial corn wet mill, corn oil yields of about 80% were achieved using three different commercial cellulases. A fourfold scale-up of the method (to 24 g of germ) resulted in oil yields of about 90%. Nine other commercial enzymes were evaluated and resulted in significant but lower oil yields.
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.
Biodiesel production from corn oil: A review
Corn or maize ( Zea mays L.) is an interesting oil crop that is produced in large quantities globally. In 2014, 1,060,107,470 and 3,189,137 t of corn crop and corn oil, respectively, were produced globally [6]. Large amounts of corn are used in starch and ethanol production, and corn oil is a by-product.
An aqueous enzymatic method was developed to extract corn oil from corn germ. The basic steps in the method involved “churning” the corn germ with various enzymes and buffer for 4 h at 50°C, and an additional 16 h at 65°C, followed by centrifugation and removal of the oil layer from the surface. No hexane or other organic solvents are used in this process. By using oven-dried corn germ
Oil and protein recovery from corn germ: Extraction yield, composition
The extracted oil was collected, weighed and stored in amber sealed container at −18 °C until analysis. The defatted meal was removed from the extraction vessel and stored at −18 °C until further use. The yield of extraction (g oil/100 g CG) was calculated from the mass of extracted oil divided by the treated mass of CG. 2.2.2.
A bench-scale aqueous enzymatic method was developed to extract corn oil from corn germ from either a commercial corn dry mill or corn germ from a newly-developed experimental enzymatic wet milling process (E-Germ). With both types of germs, no oil was extracted when acidic cellulase was the only enzyme used.
