Kinetic, thermodynamic and optimization study of the
Oil extraction from corn germ-bran pellets. The extraction efficiency of three extraction methods can be compared based on the reported relative CGO yields.
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.

Efficient and eco-friendly extraction of corn germ oil using
Introduction. Corn germ is a substantial byproduct of the wet milling and alcohol industry of corn. Corn germ (dry) contains 35?6 % oil, with linoleic acid (C18:2) being the predominant fatty acid (49?1.9 %) and the highest level of tocopherol and phytosterol amongst all vegetable oils, which is a cost-effective resource for healthy nutritious oil.
Efficient and eco-friendly extraction of corn germ oil
An improved aqueous extraction method has been established for extraction of oil from corn germs. This method primarily included steam explosion
Oil and protein recovery from corn germ: Extraction yield
Extraction by organic solvents In a first method, extraction was carried out with hexane by maceration under stirring at room temperature namely 24 C (called Hexane RT) or at 45 C (called Hexane 45 C). 50 g of ground CG and 250 mL of solvent were continuously stirred for 20 min.
Corn germ-bran oils extracted with alcoholic solvents
Fig. 1 displays the results of oil and total carbohydrates extraction yield, as a function of temperature for the batch extraction experiments, in a single stage.
Oil and protein recovery from corn germ: Extraction yield
Espinosa-Pardo and coworkers extracted corn germ oil with four different methods including hexane (room temperature), hexane (45 C), SC-CO2, and Soxhlet, the result showed that corn germ...
Corn Oil: Composition, Processing, and Utilization
Corn Oil Extraction The whole corn kernel contains from 3.0% to 6.0% oil, of which 83% is concentrated in the germ, which represents 9% of the total kernel
Biodiesel production from corn oil: A review - ScienceDirect
For the purpose of oil recovery, corn kernel processing can result in three products: corn meal, corn germ, and corn DDGS. The first two products are obtained by milling corn kernels, while DDGS is a by-product of ethanol production from corn, which is separated from whole stillage after fermentation.
