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.
This process concerns a few types of oils rich with waxes, such as rice bran, canola, corn germ oil, sunflower , and olive pomace . The dewaxing process includes three main processing steps. In the first one, the bleached oil should be heated to 328°K (55°C) to make sure the oil is completely liquid.
Oil and protein recovery from corn germ: Extraction yield
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. Their influence on oil yield and 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
Phytosterols in edible oil: Distribution, analysis
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.
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.
Bioactive Phytochemicals from Corn (Zea mays) Germ Oil
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 ].
Refined corn germ oil has high nutritional value. Corn germ oil contains a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids. With oleic acid (30%, 30%, linoleic acid 34%, 56%, and rich vitamin F in side. corn germ oil is an ideal edible oil, has a broad market prospect and intensive processing development space.
Corn germ oil refinery plant
The following picture shows the machines used in corn germ oil production line. Corn germ oil processing machine. This passage mainly introduces corn germ oil refinery plant working process and principles. Craft flow of corn germ oil refinery plant: Crude corn germ oil → degumming and deacidification → decolorization → deodorization →
First, we need to extract the embryo of corn, remove impurities, and then use a corn oil press machine to complete the extraction of corn oil. The extracted crude corn oil can be refined to obtain edible oil. Pre-treatment before oil extraction. 1. Corn germ extraction: embryo extraction is one of the important steps for oil extraction.
