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.
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.
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.
How is corn germ oil extracted from milled corn germ?
Corn germ oil was extracted from milled corn germ using diluted aqueous ethanol as solvent. Batch extractions were carried out in 500 mL glass reactor vessels which were series connected with a constant temperature water bath machine (MP-501 A, Shanghai Yiheng Scientific Instrument Co., Ltd., China).
