Corn oil

CORN OIL REFINED.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Corn oil is oil extracted from the germ of corn. Its main use is in cooking, where its high smoke point makes it a valuable frying oil. It is also a key ingredient in some margarines. Corn oil has a milder taste and is less expensive than most other types of vegetable oils. Refined corn oil is 99% triglyceride, with proportions of approximately 59% polyunsaturated fatty acid, 24% monounsaturated fatty acid, and 13% saturated fatty acid.

Corn Oil for Cooking
The corn oil is used for frying, as a shortening in baking., salad dressings, margarine, etc.

Corn Oil for External use
Corn oil is also used as a skin soother and softener (emollient). It is rich in linoleic acid, one of the three essential fatty acids. It is sometimes used as a carrier for drug molecules in pharmaceutical preparations.

Corn Oil for Biodiesel
Corn oil is also one source of biodiesel. Biodiesel is commonly made from soybeans, but as corn oil refining technology improves, it will become a greater source of biodiesel and a backup source in case of large-scale soybean crop failures.

Corn Oil for Industrial use
Industrial uses for corn oil include soap, salve, paint, rustproofing for metal surfaces, inks, textiles, and insecticides.
