Corn Oill Proudction Process - How to get oil from corn?

The oil extraction process from corn germ is very similar to rice bran!

The Corn oil processing always starts with the Corn GermThe Germ is a part the corn plant called an embryo, which is recognizably different from the usual nutrients found in the endosperm. The endosperm is a tissue which is produced inside the seed of the plant. It protects the embryo and gives it nutrition.  (Read more about setting up rice bran oil manufacturing plant and cost >>)

Corn Seeds Composition Seed Coat Germ Endosperm
Proportion of the whole seeds (%) 6%~9% 7%~12% 80%~85%
Oil Content (%) 1.3% 83% 15%

Corn Germ Separation Process

The first step of corn oil production is Corn Germ Separation. It is also known as corn embryo extracting or germ extraction. There are 3 main corn germ separation processes: 

  • Dry type corn germ separation
  • Wet type corn germ separation
  • Half-wet corn germ separation

Corn Germ Oil Extraction Process

The amount of oil in corn germ is around 85% of all the oil in the whole seed. How to make cooking oil from corn? There are a few steps in the corn oil production line.

Corn Oil Manufacturing Process

Generally, corn oil is produced by expeller pressed method, then solvent-extracted the oil cake by using hexane or isohexane. The solvent is then recovered for re-use by evaporation. The extracted crude corn oil is then sent to refining plant (including degumming, dewaxing, alkali treatment) to get high quality edible corn germ oils. 

Corn Oil Refinery Process

Equipment for Producing Refined Corn Oil

During the corn oil refining process, degumming or alkali treatment is used to remove phosphatides. Alkali treatment also neutralizes free fatty acids and removes color of the crude oil. Winterization is the then comes up to remove waxes. The final step of refining is deodorization by steam distillation of the oil at 232–260 °C under high vacuum. 

About 100%-expeller-pressed Corn Oil

In some cases, oil producers choose to make 100%-expeller-pressed corn oil. This kind of specialty oil is more expensive since the oil yield of 100%-expeller-pressing process is much lower than he combination expeller and solvent process, and the market share is also smaller.  (Related article: Cooking Oil  Refining Plant)
