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.
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 Processing, Oil press,oil extraction machine
Introduction of corn germ oil. Corn germ oil is the oil extracted from corn germ at low temperature. Corn germ oil is rich in vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids necessary for the human body, such as linoleic acid and oleic acid, which have a protective effect on human heart and brain blood vessels.
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
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.
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 ).
Corn germ oil extraction with compressed propane compared
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
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….
Extraction and Functional Properties of Non-Zein ..., Springer
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
Increasing the moisture content of the corn germ from 8 to 25% before oil extraction increased the acid value (AV) (3.02–4.01 mg KOH g −1), peroxide value (PV) (0.52–1.05 meq kg −1), and the red value (7.3–8.7) and decreased the content of total tocopherols by 37% and that of γ-tocopherols by 31%.
