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 oil 2.2.1. Maceration of corn germ
How was CGO obtained from ground corn germ by maceration using n-hexane?
Conclusions CGO was obtained from ground corn germ by maceration using n-hexane. The physicochemical properties and fatty acid composition of CGO were close to the previously reported. The most represented fatty acids of the CGO were unsaturated fatty acids with linoleic and oleic acid as predominant.

Is corn germ hard to process?
But because corn germ can be notoriously tough to process, it requires the right extraction equipment to press oil efficiently to get optimal returns. Here’s what you need to know about processing corn germ to capitalize on the commercial value of its oil. Whole corn kernels only contain a small amount of fat, around 5% by weight.
