• What is corn germ solvent extraction process?
  • The operation of the corn germ solvent extraction, purification, evaporation and solvent recovery is conducted as normal solvent extraction process. Crude corn oil has deep amber color. It contains 1-3% phospholipids, >1% sterols, tocopherols or other unsaponifiables, 1.5% free fatty acid, 0.05% wax and unpleasant smell.
  • How to extract oil from corn or maize germ?
  • The main methods to extract oil from corn or maize germ: Screw pressing and solvent extraction . “Screw Oil Pressing / Expelling” is the most used in small to medium scale corn oil manufacturing process. (At present, most corn oil companies or factories use screw pressing process, the oil yield is around 70%.)
  • What is the extraction rate of corn oil?
  • At present, most corn oil companies or factories use screw pressing process, the oil yield is around 65%~70%, while for large oil mills adopting solvent extraction technology, the corn germ oil extraction rate can reach 98%. Complete Corn Oil Extraction Process (Solvent Extraction)
  • What is the oil production process of maize germ?
  • The oil production process of maize germ is similar to that of rice bran. Also must pay attention to reasonable storage, embryo processing, oil extraction and dewaxing of crude oil. The global corn oil market is unique in several ways. Corn oil is relatively cheaper than majority of other variety of vegetable oils.
