MAIZE/CORN OIL FROM CORN GERM

India is predominantly an agricultural country. Due to the progressive increase  in farm produce, a need has been felt to develop more agro/based food processing industries to make gainful utilization of the raw material resources and to provide remunerative prices to the growers. Maize is one of the important commercial food grains grown abundantly in our country.

Main maize growing States in the country are Punjab, Haryana, U.P., M.P., Bihar, Karnataka, Rajasthan. The maize is processed for manufacturing many foods items, corn oil  (Maize Oil) is one of them.

Corn is one of the most successful food, feed and industrial cereal. Industries consume 12-15% of corn production in India. Corn flour, corn oil, corn flake, corn syrup, popcorn, rice corn and corn soap are some popular corn products. Corn oil is a pale yellow oil procured from the kernel of corn. The first commercial production of corn oil took place in 1889. Refined corn oil is tasteless and odorless oil. Corn oil is used as a cooking medium and for manufacturing hydrogenated oil.
