What is corn germ oil?
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.
What is the oil production process of maize germ?
The oil production process of maize germ is similar to that of rice bran. Also must pay attention to reasonable storage, embryo processing, oil extraction and dewaxing of crude oil. The global corn oil market is unique in several ways. Corn oil is relatively cheaper than majority of other variety of vegetable oils.
What is corn germ?
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.
