Leibovitz, K.

Our experiences in processing maize (corn) germ oil - Germany : Springer, 1983.

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-deodorization. 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.
