Crude Corn Oil
Crude Corn Oil, is produced through neutralization and bleaching process which are the first stages of production of refined vegetable oil. Corn oil differs from other vegetable oils through its high levels of essential fatty acids (56 %), vitamin E, phytosterols and other important minor components, such as coenzymes Q9 and Q10. Essential fatty acids (linoleic acid omega-6 and alpha-linolenic acid omega-3) are essential biological elements that need to be absorbed through the daily diet, because the body itself is not able to synthesise them.
Main Application:
- Raw materials needed in energy (biodiesel fuel) and chemical industries
- Production of refined oils and vegetable fats, mayonnaise and margarine following subsequent refining and hydrogenation.
