Extraction Method of Corn Oil / Production
This oil extraction follows chemical reactions to extract the oil from the germ (embryo) of the corn. Following this process, corn seeds (corn kernels) are broken into several parts in milling machines. Hereafter, you will find solid starch, fiber, and germs in distinct forms.
This machining process is divided into two individuals, such as: “wet-milling” and “dry milling”. However, most of the industries prefer “wet-milling” over “dry milling”.
After the machining process, the separated germ is ready to provide oil with the help of additives. Here, n-hexane plays the role of a high-performance additive which helps to bring out 90% of the oil from this germ.
Maybe, you know that hexane is injurious to health. Then, should we stop using corn oil? The answer is no. You will be glad to know that hexane is removed by a method called solvent extraction. This method requires nothing but distillation and evaporation. That’s how you will find a healthy food-grade oil for cooking healthy foods.
