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.
Now many countries use corn to make edible oil. One reason is that: according to research, the total fat content of corn grain is 3.1-5.7%, and 80-85% of the oil was enriched in corn germ. Therefore, the corn oil production mainly adopts germ extraction (separation) production technology. The other reason is that: the cost of setting up a corn
Making Corn Oil/Corn Germ Oil by Screw Oil Press
The most fat of corn kernel is in the corn germ. Corn germ can be pressed by integrated screw oil press. This machine is one of the advanced oil presses. It can squeeze and filter oil at the same time with high oil yield and large capacity, labor-saving and energy-saving. The temperature is controlled automatically.
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 ].
Corn Germ, an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
One bushel of corn (56 pounds) processed by a wet mill generates approximately 12.9 pounds of corn gluten feed, 3.1 pounds of corn gluten meal, and 0.5 pounds of corn germ meal (Hoffman, 2011). Together these coproducts represent about 25%–30% of the corn, as the dent corn generally has 70%–75% of starch and 3%–4% of oil ( A.R.S. United
Compared with corn, the content of crude protein, lysine, and methionine of corn germ meal is 2–3, 3.2, and 1.4 times that of corn, respectively and the content of vitamins and minerals is also much higher, so it has a great value of development and utilization . Corn germ protein contains all the essential amino acids needed by the human
Extraction and Functional Properties of Non-Zein Proteins in
This assumption appears to have been validated when we recently subjected newer batches of corn germ to repeat oil content analyses where we used 0.35 mm (42-mesh) particle size and 60 min operating time and values we obtained were markedly greater (5.1–9.4 times for wet germ and 1.2–4.5 times for finished germ) than those from the first
Corn oil, being the most valuable corn component, presents itself as an attractive candidate for front-end and tail-end separation of germs. Although the corn oil does not take part in starch fermentation into ethanol, the implication of the front-end degermination in dry-grind corn process on downstream product recovery is an essential
Kinetics of oil extraction from corn germ
The FER in-hexane method was found 4.9, whereas, in screw press method it was found 3.4 and 3.1 for the GK and WK, respectively, which indicates that n-hexane method is more efficient than screw
The Super Duo Series Expeller is ideal for capacities of 10-30 tons per day on difficult-to-process specialty materials such as corn germ, coffee beans, sesame seed, and grapeseed. The unique dual-pressing design allows for the lowest possible residual oil levels in a single pass. Highlights. Features. Applications.
