Technical Document

Crude Corn Oil is an unrefined vegetable oil extracted from corn germ through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction, retaining its natural golden color, distinctive corn aroma, and nutrient-rich profile (vitamin E, phytosterols). Containing impurities like free fatty acids (1-3%), phospholipids, and waxes, it requires full refining for food use but serves as the primary feedstock for producing refined corn oil. With limited stability, it's mainly used in animal feed or industrial applications when unrefined, offering a cost-effective base for further processing into food-grade oil.
