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.
The residual oil content in corn meal after Sc-CO 2 extraction could have affected protein extraction, leading to a slightly lower yield (21.3%) than that from hexane defatted meal at the same temperature. However, no significant difference was observed in the recovery yields between Hexane at RT and undefatted meals (19.0% and 19.9%
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 ].

Front‐end corn germ separation: Process variations
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
Conventional Corn Germ Extraction. The production of corn oil includes separation operations of the germ from the corn kernel, which in most instances are carried out through dry-milling (see Chapter 15) or wet-milling (see Chapter 18) operations. Dry-milling begins with the cleaning and removal of impurities from the kernel.
Kinetic, thermodynamic and optimization study of the corn
Before oil extraction, the corn germ was ground by a domestic grinder (Braun, Germany) for 2 min. The CGO content of the corn germ determined by the Soxhlet extraction using n-hexane (HPLC grade; Lab–Scan, Ireland) at the SGR of 3:1 mL/g for 3 h was 45.35 ± 0.32 g/100 g dried germ. 2.2. Extraction of corn germ oil2.2.1. Maceration of corn germ
With both types of germs, no oil was extracted when acidic cellulase was the only enzyme used. Pre-treating dry milled corn germ by heating it in boiling water or microwave pretreatment, followed by enzymatic extraction with the acidic cellulase resulted in oil yields of about 43% and 57%, respectively. A two-step process, combining both acidic
Corn oil, Wikipedia
Corn oil, five liters. Plastic jugs in cardboard boxes, 15 kg each. Corn oil (North American) or maize oil (British) is oil extracted from the germ of corn ( maize ). Its main use is in cooking, where its high smoke point makes refined corn oil a valuable frying oil. It is also a key ingredient in some margarines.
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.
