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 ].
Development and Utilization of Corn Processing by-Products: A
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
Thus, the total quantity of products sold by the U.S. corn dry-milling industry in 2000, including prime products, hominy feed, and crude corn oil, was almost 9 billion pounds (4.1 billion kg). This figure was calculated to be about 6 billion pounds (2.7 billion kg) for 1977.
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
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
Corn Germ, an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Corn germ oil ( Zea mays) Corn germ oil is a by-product of the corn oil milling process. Most corn that is harvested is used as feed but the proportion of the corn that is milled is increasing because of bioethanol production. During the wet milling process, the germ is isolated from the starch using cyclone separators, washed, and dried.
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
The Corn Refining Process, Corn Refiners Association
The corn wet milling process separates corn into its four basic components: starch, germ, fiber, and protein. There are five basic steps to accomplish this process. First the incoming corn is inspected and cleaned. Then it is steeped for 30 to 40 hours to begin breaking the starch and. protein bonds. The next step in the process involves a
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.
