Efficient and eco-friendly extraction of corn germ oil using aqueous
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
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.
Bioactive Phytochemicals from Corn (Zea mays) Germ Oil Processing By
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 ].
The oil crushing plants should be preferably located nearby milling industries that generate good quality germ coproducts. The same plant that processes the corn germ generally is able to process other oilseeds (i.e., soybean, canola) guaranteeing the more efficient utilization of the manufacturing plant (Regitano-D'arce, 2006).
Corn germ oil extraction with compressed propane compared ..., Springer
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

Effect of Moisture and Heat Treatment of Corn Germ on Oil Quality
The Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society publishes original research and technological advances on fats, oils, oilseed proteins, and related materials. Abstract The changes in the quality of crude corn oil caused by moisture and two different thermal pretreatments (oven heating and steam heating) of wet-milled corn germ were evaluated and compared...
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
Front‐end corn germ separation: Process variations and effects on
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 consideration in bioethanol yield.
Samples of crude oil were taken from the same plant and used as control samples. Degummed corn germ oil was prepared by a laboratory procedure at 60°C with the addition of 3% (vol/vol) water to the oil (5). Procedure. The experimental scheme for enzymatic extraction of corn germ oil is shown in Figure 1.
