• How to extract oil from corn germ during flour processing?
  • This work aimed the recovery of oil and protein fractions from corn germ (CG) generated as a by-product during flour processing. Several oil extraction techniques were investigated: hexane at room temperature, hexane at 45 ¡ãC, supercritical carbon dioxide (Sc-CO 2) and Soxhlet with hexane and ethanol.
  • What are the parameters of cold press extraction process?
  • Cold press extraction process parameters were flow rate (c onstant) and rotational rate 40 rpm. Se eds moistu r e an d oil contents w er e determined. Also, to tal oil contents dete rmined by th e so lvent extraction m ethod. Obtained oils fatty acids analyzed w ith two commercial oils of Iran (COI) and Turkey (COT).
  • Does Tempering degerming reduce endosperm fractions in corn germ-bran mixture?
  • The tempering-degerming process implemented to achieve the corn germ-bran mixture may let more endosperm fractions attached to the germ than the dry mechanical degerming and bran separation implemented by Castelmais. 3.2. Oil recovery and characterization Table 1 summarizes data of yields and oil composition for the different extraction methods.
  • 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.
  • What is cold press extraction?
  • The production from oily seeds was compiled. Results and discu ssion. Cold press extraction is one of environmental f riendly. I t is used to extract o il from a range of from oilseeds. High-quality oils can be obtained by method. It has an e nvironmentally friendly use with no solvents. In other wo rds, the cold-press extraction doe s not
  • What are the TPC values of corn oil extracted by hexane?
  • The TPC values of oils extracted at 45 ¡ãC and boiling hexane are consistent with those reported by Shende and Sidhu (2015) for corn oil extracted by hexane (76 mg GAE/kg oil). The highest yield of extraction (37.7 g oil/100 g CG) was obtained by the Soxhlet ethanol method.
