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.
Why are different compositions verified for corn germ oil processing by-products?
Different compositions are verified for corn germ oil processing by-products, mainly due to the diversity of extraction processes to which the corn is submitted.
What are the methods used for extraction of maize (Zea mays L) germ oil?
Methods used for extraction of maize ( Zea mays L.) germ oil – a review The composition of corn oil obtained by the alcohol extraction of ground corn Sequential extraction processing of flaked whole corn: alternative corn fractional technology for ethanol production Corn oil production process.
What is corn germ oil processing by-products?
Corn (Zea mays L.) is one of the most relevant and cultivated cereals. During the processing of corn, especially in obtaining edible oil, large quantities of by-products are generated, called corn germ oil processing by-products. In this sense, this chapter provides…
How to produce bio-oil and bio-char from corn cobs & Stover?
Bio-oil and bio-char production from corn cobs and stover by fast pyrolysis Biodiesel production from vegetable oil and waste animal fats in a pilot plant Optimization of diesel fuel and corn oil mixtures composition characterization and combustion performance of corn oil-based biofuel blends
How can industrial corn processing improve biodiesel production?
Oily co–products of industrial corn processing are promising biodiesel feedstocks. “Green” oil extraction methods will improve corn oil recovery. Simpler, more efficient and energy–saving corn-based biodiesel technology is needed. The integrated reactor/separation process of biodiesel production is more efficient.
