  • What is corn oil extraction plant?
  • Corn oil extraction plant extracts corn germ from corn and produces corn germ oil by solvent extraction method. The corn oil production line includes corn germ extraction process, corn germ pretreatment and prepressing process, corn germ cake solvent extraction process and crude corn germ oil refining process.
  • How to extract corn germ oil in semi-batch process?
  • The extraction of corn germ oil was evaluated using pressurized propane as solvent in semi-batch process as an alternative approach to organic solvent extraction. The effect of temperature (20, 40, 60 °C), pressure (20, 60, 100 bar), particle size and confinement time were studied.
  • How is corn germ oil extracted?
  • Before oil extraction, the corn germ was ground by a domestic grinder (Braun, Germany) for 2 min. The CGO content of the corn germ determined by the Soxhlet extraction using n -hexane (HPLC grade; Lab–Scan, Ireland) at the SGR of 3:1 mL/g for 3 h was 45.35 ± 0.32 g/100 g dried germ. 2.2. Extraction of corn germ oil 2.2.1. Maceration of corn germ
  • Can supercritical CO2 extract corn germ oil?
  • The aim of this work was to investigate corn germ oil extraction using supercritical CO 2 and cosolvents addition (hexane, acetone and ethanol). The effects of temperature (45-85 °C) and pressure (15-25 MPa) on the extract yield were evaluated for the tests conducted only with supercritical CO 2.
  • Can hexane extract be used to extract corn germ oil?
  • Extraction with subcritical propane resulted in corn germ oils with properties similar to those obtained in classic extraction procedures using hexane. However, both propane and hexane extracts had lower total phenolic content and antioxidant activity compared with Soxhlet extraction with ethanol or ethyl acetate.
  • 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 ).
