  • Could mini-plants save Nigeria's aging refineries?
  • Nigeria¡¯s efforts to revamp its aging refineries may be bogged down due to a lack of resources, but Africa¡¯s top oil producer is moving ahead with mini-plants in an effort to help end its dependency on fuel imports.
  • What is corn germ oil?
  • Most of the commercial corn oil is extracted from the germ and this is commonly known as ¡°corn germ oil.¡± The germ from wet-milling operations (see Chapter 18) is recovered with up to 50% oil, which must be quickly processed because of its low microbiological and chemical stability.
  • How is corn germ isolated from starch?
  • During the wet milling process, the germ is isolated from the starch using cyclone separators, washed, and dried. The dried germ contains about 50% oil, in which the oil constitutes about 85% of the total amount of oil present in the corn.
  • How can oil refineries help Nigeria?
  • The refineries can help Nigeria stop spending its scarce foreign exchange on buying fuel from abroad and support other ¡°auxiliary businesses,¡± according to Oyarekhua, an oil product trader by background. ¡°I¡¯ve seen the inefficiency in that system of importing product.¡± ¡ªWith assistance from Gina Turner.
  • What is solvent extraction of corn germ?
  • Solvent extraction of corn germ is the process of greater industrial use because it allows the effective extraction of practically all the corn oil leaving a defatted germ meal with less than 1% residual oil.
  • Is corn germ oil edible?
  • Corn germ oil was confirmed to be one of the edible oils by WHO (World Health Organization) and FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) due to its superior oxidative stability and nutritive properties. Table 4. Fat acid composition in corn germ and bran. Table 5.
