  • 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 oil extracted?
  • In the process of corn oil extraction, the germ passes through conditioning operations (heating, humidification and extrusion), to then be submitted to oil extraction by expeller (pre-pressing) and solvent extraction, with hexane being the solvent chosen by processors ( Moreau, 2005 ).
  • 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 is kernel oil determined?
  • The kernel oil content is determined mainly by the percentage of oil in the germ and mainly by the ratio that the germ occupies in the caryopsis. Most of the commercial corn oil is extracted from the germ and this is commonly known as “corn germ oil.”
  • Can absolute isopropanol be used in corn germ-bran oil extraction?
  • The absolute isopropanol showed excellent performance as a solvent in corn germ-bran oil extraction, with yields above 75% from the temperature of 50 °C, in single stage batch extraction.
  • How to extract oil from corn germ without hexane?
  • The aqueous enzymatic method was developed to extract oil from corn germ without hexane or other organic solvents. When using corn germ samples from wet-milling operations, yields ranging from 80% to 90% corn oil were obtained using commercial cellulose, whereas in the absence of enzymes, oil yields were only between 27% and 37%.
