Efficient and eco-friendly extraction of corn germ oil using
An improved aqueous extraction method has been established for extraction of oil from corn germs. This method primarily included steam explosion pretreatment and aqueous ethanol extraction. Process variables such as steam pressure, resident time, particle size and ethanol concentration were investigated. The highest yield of 93.74 % was obtained when ground steam-exploded corn germ (1.3 MPa
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.
Hassi Messaoud Oil Refinery Project, Ouargla Province, Algeria
The Hassi Messaoud refinery project is a grassroot crude oil refinery planned in the Ouargla Province of Algeria. It will have an annual processing capacity of five million tonnes of oil and 120,900 tonnes of natural gas. The oil refinery aims to meet the demand for the European environmental standards (Euro V) specification refined petroleum
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
Crude corn oil is commonly subjected to the conventional refining process, and approximately 50% of total phytosterols was eliminated in the conventional refining process, while only 10% was lost in a moderate refinement [33]. The loss of phytosterols largely depended on the refining conditions.
Corn oil, Wikipedia
Corn oil, five liters. Plastic jugs in cardboard boxes, 15 kg each. Corn oil (North American) or maize oil (British) is oil extracted from the germ of corn ( maize ). Its main use is in cooking, where its high smoke point makes refined corn oil a valuable frying oil. It is also a key ingredient in some margarines.
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 ].
Pretreatment of corn oil for physical refining
pretreatment with phosphoric or citric acid and 1 to 3% of ac-. tivated earth (18). In physical refining of corn oil by the Simon Rosendows. System Ltd. process, 0.15% of phosphoric acid at 60
Crude corn oil that contained 380 ppm of phosphorus and 5% of free fatty acids was degummed, bleached, and winterized for physical refining. The pretreatment and the steam-refining conditions were studied in pilot plant scale (2 kg/batch). The efficiency of wet degumming and of the total degumming processes, at different temperatures, was
