  • Can oil and protein extracts be recovered from corn germ?
  • Oil and proteins were successfully recovered from corn germ by a biorefinery scheme. Oil extraction yield and TPC of oils were influenced by the polarity of solvents. The protein content of recovered extracts ranged from 20 to 48%. The functionality of protein extracts depended on the defatting pretreatment.
  • 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.
  • Does Tempering degerming reduce endosperm fractions in corn germ-bran mixture?
  • The tempering-degerming process implemented to achieve the corn germ-bran mixture may let more endosperm fractions attached to the germ than the dry mechanical degerming and bran separation implemented by Castelmais. 3.2. Oil recovery and characterization Table 1 summarizes data of yields and oil composition for the different extraction methods.
  • Why is DDGs a lower value than corn?
  • The DDGS resulting from ethanol production plants gets a lower value than corn even though the DDGS has a higher benefit than corn as a feed ingredient. By increasing ethanol production (Figure 3), bioethanol plants will end up with a considerable number of coproducts, primarily DDGS.
  • Is DDGs bad for cattle?
  • The 4% oil in corn is concentrated to 14% in DDGS; this high oil in DDGS is undesirable for some animals to feed. For example, milk production in cattle and the bacon texture in DDGS-fed swine can be negatively affected (Luangthongkam et al., 2015).
  • Can oil extraction conditions affect the recovery of protein fractions from CG?
  • Alike, in the scheme for the recovery of oil and protein fractions from CG, oil extraction conditions might influence not only the recovered oil quality but also the defatted meal quality and the functional properties of proteins extracted straight after.
