  • 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.
  • What is corn germ solvent extraction process?
  • The operation of the corn germ solvent extraction, purification, evaporation and solvent recovery is conducted as normal solvent extraction process. Crude corn oil has deep amber color. It contains 1-3% phospholipids, >1% sterols, tocopherols or other unsaponifiables, 1.5% free fatty acid, 0.05% wax and unpleasant smell.
  • 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%.
  • What are the parameters for the neutralization of corn oil?
  • Common parameters for the neutralization of corn oil refer to excess between 0.12% and 0.15%, with alkaline solution of 18°Bé or 145 g/L. These indications minimize the risk of loss of neutral oil (Hendrix, 1990; Erickson, 1995; Dorsa, 2004).
  • How is pure starch extracted from corn kernels?
  • Pure starch is industrially isolated from corn kernels by a process called dry- or wet-milling that lets the corn germ (CG) as the main residue.
  • What is The unsaponifiable material in corn oil?
  • The unsaponifiable matter includes minority compounds which cannot be saponified by the usual treatment with caustic soda, but are soluble in oils and fats. Corn oil contains 1.3%–2.3% of unsaponifiable material, consisting mainly of phytosterols, tocopherols, tocotrienols, and squalene (Moreau, 2005; O'Brien, 2008).
