  • How does corn oil extraction affect ethanol production?
  • Most ethanol producers’ corn oil extraction efforts leave roughly 60 percent of the available distillers’ corn oil (DCO) behind. Using Trucent technology and services, it’s not unusual for a plant to add millions of dollars in annual revenue by merely improving their DCO extraction–without detracting from your existing DDGS and ethanol production.
  • 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 much corn oil can ethanol plants extract from each bushel?
  • This approach has made it possible for ethanol plants to consistently extract 75 to 95 percent of the available corn oil from each bushel. These solutions rely on both new technology and new chemistry.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
