Abstract
Corn oil is extracted from corn to form a corn meal. Processing the corn grain to obtain the oil, meal, and other product streams generally includes dividing the corn kernel by fractionating to create a higher oil fraction and a lower oil fraction, forming a solvent extractable structure from the higher oil fraction, and extracting the oil from the higher oil fraction. The extracted corn oil is useful for making nutritionally enhanced edible oil or cooking oil, lubricants, biodiesel, fuel, cosmetics and oil-based or oil-containing chemical products. The extracted corn meal is useful for making enhanced animal feed rations, snack food, blended food products, cosmetics, and fermentation broth additive. The lower oil fraction is useful for one or more processes such as fermentation, wet-milling, animal feed production, sweetener production, and starch production, making enhanced animal feed rations, snack food, blended food products, and cosmetics.
