  • 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 corn germ oil contain sterol?
  • The contents of sterol, tocopherol and carotene from the oils of corn germ and bran. 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, 132–134].‌
  • What is the extraction yield of corn germ oil?
  • The highest extraction yield with propane was 38.4 ± 1.2 wt% at 20 °C, 20 bar, 30 min and 0.95 mm particle size. Corn germ oil is widely used for culinary preparation because of its pleasant and slightly sweet taste.‌
  • How to extract corn germ oil in semi-batch process?
  • 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.‌
  • How is corn oil extracted?
  • In the process of corn oil extraction, the germ passes through conditioning operations (heating, humidification and extrusion), to then be submitted to oil extraction by expeller (pre-pressing) and solvent extraction, with hexane being the solvent chosen by processors ( Moreau, 2005 ).‌
  • Can hexane extract be used to extract corn germ oil?
  • Extraction with subcritical propane resulted in corn germ oils with properties similar to those obtained in classic extraction procedures using hexane. However, both propane and hexane extracts had lower total phenolic content and antioxidant activity compared with Soxhlet extraction with ethanol or ethyl acetate.
