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 ].
Designed for difficult-to-process materials like corn germ, palm kernel, and grapeseed, the Duo’s unique dual-pressing action can reduce residual oils to 5-6% in a single pass. Models of this machine from the 1930s are still operating today, earning the Duo a reputation as the most durable, long-lasting press in the oilseed extraction industry.
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.
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

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
Kinetic, thermodynamic and optimization study of the corn
The oil is predominantly located in the germ (about 80–84% of total kernel oil) (Rajendran et al., 2012), which can be separated from corn kernels by degerming processes. Although the corn oil is commonly obtained from the germ, it can also be recovered from whole kernels and by-product streams in ethanol production ( Zabed et al., 2017 ).
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.
Corn Germ Oil Extraction Plant
Usually the corn germ is around 8% in the total corn grain, and the corn germ’s oil content is approx. 50%. There are two common production methods for corn germ oil: pressing method, suitable for small and medium-sized corn oil producers, and solvent extraction method, suitable for large-scale corn oil producers.
In the extraction process, the ground corn germ was shaken with predetermined surfactant and salt concentrations at room temperature for 45 min. About 83%, the sum of total free oil and total oil-in-water emulsion, of the corn oil was extracted from the corn germ using a formulation of 0.4% C 12,14 –P 10 –E 2 –SO 4 Na and 1% NaCl.
