The corn germ is a valuable part of the grain, containing a significant proportion of oil. Its separation during deep processing allows the product to be used as a raw material for the oil and fat and feed industries.
Corn oil production
The embryo is sent for mechanical pressing or extraction. The resulting oil can undergo further purification and refining. The efficiency of processing depends on the oil content, humidity and storage conditions of the raw materials.
Feed application
After extracting the oil, cake or meal remains, which can be used as a component of feed formulations. Before use, the content of protein, fat, fiber and other indicators is assessed.
Storage conditions
Due to the presence of fats, the embryo is sensitive to oxidation. It is important to limit exposure to heat, moisture and long-term storage. Logistics must be organized so that the product quickly arrives for processing.
Technical approval
Buyers determine in advance the permissible humidity, oil content, presence of impurities and delivery format. For stable operation of oil pressing equipment, repeatability of batch characteristics is important.
Discuss cooperation
To discuss the supply of corn germ, please send requirements for moisture content, oil content, packaging and batch size.
