Our experiences in processing maize (corn) germ oil

This paper discusses the properties and composition of corn oil. Influences of processing steps on oil quality are described, along with alkali and physical refining, degumming, bleaching, dewaxing, deacification-decodorization. A new method for wet degumming-bleaching and deacidification-deodorization is presented. Flowsheets and other data are given for a new 150 metric tons per day of corn oil plant.
