  • How is corn germ oil extracted?
  • As a kind of high-quality vegetable oil, corn germ oil has been studied for many years by using lots of extraction methods including pressing extraction, Soxhlet extraction, organic solvent extraction, supercritical CO 2 and aqueous enzymatic [ 124, 125, , , ].
  • 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.
  • How is corn bran oil extracted?
  • In addition to traditional solvent extraction (petroleum ether), the methods of hexane extraction and subcritical butane extraction were used to extract corn bran oil which contains high content of unsaturated fatty acids and phytosterols [ 144 ].
  • Is corn kernel oil a recovery germ?
  • Typically, the crude oil of corn kernel (4%) is almost stored in corn germ and the entire germ mainly contains oil (48%), protein (13%), and starch (12%). However, the recovery germ composition in oil (18%?41%), protein (12%?21%) and starch (6%?21%) is also influenced by growing conditions, genetic factors, and isolation methods [ 33 ].
