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 (2012)
Comprehensive utilization of corn starch processing
This industrial process involves chemical, biochemical, and mechanical operations to separate pure starch fractions from corn kernels. Various products were isolated, including starch (about 68.0%), corn bran (12.0%), corn germ (7.5%), steep liquor (6.5%), gluten (5.6%), and others (0.04%) [ 24 ].
Kinetic, thermodynamic and optimization study of the
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
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.
Comprehensive utilization of corn starch processing
About 30% of the by-products such as corn gluten, corn barn, corn germ is produced during the deep processing of corn, which can be used as high-quality feed
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
Corn Oil: Composition, Processing, and Utilization
Corn oil is an excellent source of essential fatty acids, which typically exceed 60% of its total composition, with the main contribution of linoleic acid (C18:2)
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
A process for the aqueous enzymatic extraction of corn oil from dry milled corn germ and enzymatic wet milled corn germ (E-Germ) J Am Oil Chem Soc. 2009; 86:469–474. doi:
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
