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
In Dry milling Corn / Maize Flour is the main product. Oil content of Corn / Maize germ produced by Wet Milling is as high as 50% and that by Dry Milling is about 25%. We undertake turnkey project solutions for the complete Corn / Maize-Germ Oil Extraction Plant. Major Corn producing countries are USA, China, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Ukraine
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
The extraction of corn germ oil was evaluated using pressurized propane as solvent in semi-batch process as an alternative approach to organic solvent extraction. The effect of temperature (20, 40, 60 °C), pressure (20, 60, 100 bar), particle size and confinement time were studied. Moreover, the extraction kinetics for the pressurized solvent were determined. Temperature and pressure had no
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 ].
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.
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
The aim of this work was to investigate corn germ oil extraction using supercritical CO 2 and cosolvents addition (hexane, acetone and ethanol). The effects of temperature (45–85 °C) and pressure (15–25 MPa) on the extract yield were evaluated for the tests conducted only with supercritical CO 2. The addition of cosolvents to supercritical
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….
Process improvement has taken a further step to increase the ethanol yield and rate by processing alpha-amylase corn, providing critical nutrients and superior yeast. Conclusions. Corn ethanol production, quality of coproducts, germ separation, and oil recovery have been enhanced with component recovery either before or after fermentation.
