The corn oil extraction machine, also known as screw oil press machine, is used for the mechanical pressing of corn germ oil. The corn germ oil press machine adopts directional pressure bearing and multi-stage propulsion to realize high oil yield.
How to extract oil from corn germ during flour processing?
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.
How is corn germ extracted?
The germs were kept in paper bags in the darkened room. The moisture content in the corn germ, determined by drying germ to constant weight at 105 °C, was 3.3 g/100 g. Before oil extraction, the corn germ was ground by a domestic grinder (Braun, Germany) for 2 min.
What are the features of corn germ oil press machine?
The corn germ oil press machine adopts directional pressure bearing and multi-stage propulsion to realize high oil yield. Scientific heating, automatic control of pressing temperature, high quality of pressed corn oil are among the outstanding features.
