Oil and protein recovery from corn germ: Extraction yield
Supercritical fluid extraction of corn germ oil: study of the influence of process parameters on the extraction yield and oil quality J. Supercrit. Fluids,72 ( 2012 ),pp. 270 277,10.1016/j.supflu.2012.10.001
Corn germ oil extraction with compressed propane compared
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.
Corn germ oil extraction with compressed propane
The corn germ samples used in this study had a real particle density of 1100 kg/m3 and a moisture content of 6.00 ± 0.02 wt%. In this regard, Christianson et al. (1984) demonstrated that corn germ moisture contents below 8% have a minor influence in the extraction process. Table 1 shows the apparent bed density and bed porosity of the three differe...ScienceDirect
Efficient and eco-friendly extraction of corn germ oil using
An improved aqueous extraction method has been established for extraction of oil from corn germs. This method primarily included steam explosion pretreatment and aqueous ethanol extraction. Process variables such as steam pressure, resident time, particle size and ethanol concentration were investigated. The highest yield of 93.74 % was obtained when ground steam-exploded corn germ (1.3 MPa

Biodiesel production from corn oil: A review - ScienceDirect
This paper provides a general overview of the usage of corn oil as oily feedstock for biodiesel production. First, corn cultivation, corn germ composition, and use, as well as corn oil composition, properties and use are briefly described. Then, the corn processing methods to recover corn germs and DDGS are presented.

Efficient and eco-friendly extraction of corn germ oil using
Quality analysis of extracted corn germ oil Simple refining process contained alkali and water washing followed by bleaching. Alkali washing was conducted using 10 % ( w /w) alkali solution for 30 min under 60 C. The amount of alkali used was calculated from the following formulas: Alkali amount = 7.13 * AV * G 10000 a
Biodiesel production from corn oil: A review ScienceDirect
Moreover, recently, corn oil has been used in biodiesel manufacture, especially in combination with ethanol production. Corn oil has an acid value of less than
Oil and protein recovery from corn germ: Extraction yield
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. Their influence on oil yield and oil
