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 Germs. Corn germ is a dried Co-product of the corn wet milling process. It consists principally of the germs, containing the corn oil, which are obtained after the coarse grinding of the corn seeds. Corn germ has a medium protein level and is an excellent energy source. Furthermore it has good hydration and pelleting qualities.
Corn Germ Oil Extraction Plant, Complete Turnkey Project
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 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.
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
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.
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 ].
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.
Virgin Oil Press Kft. | EU-Japan, EUFood2Japan
We currently use 20 types of seeds from we press oil, produce seed flour, seed butter and cosmetic products. The oils are packaged in dark coloured glass bottles to conserve their outstanding quality as long as possible. We are proud that our organic Corn Germ Oil has won the Great Taste star in both 2018 and 2019.
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.
