Refined Corn Oil WholesaleCorn 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 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. Other industrial uses for corn oil include soap, salve, paint, rustproofing for metal surfaces, inks, textiles, and insecticides. It is sometimes used as a carrier for drug molecules in rmaceutical preparations.GENERAL SPECIFICATIONSCorn Oil is the refined fixed oil obtained from the embryo of Zea mays Linne (Fam. Gramineae).TEST METHOD RANGESpecific gravity @ 25°CUSP0.914-0.921Iodine valueUSP102 - 130Saponification valueUSP187 - 193Free fatty acidsUSP< 2.0 mL of 0.02 N NaOHPeroxide valueUSP5 meq/kg maxUnsaponifiable matterUSP<1.5%Color GardnerAOCS Td la-645 maxAppearanceGolden yellow, bright & clear oily liquidOdorBland, odorlessCORN OILTaste NeutralImpurities NegativeFree Fatty Acid ( % ) max 0,10Moisture ( % ) max 0,05Peroxide Value ( meq O2/ kg ) max 5Specific gravity at 20 degr C 0,91 - 0,93Iodine value ( g / 100 g ) 103 - 128Colour Lovibond 5 1/4 " Red max 2,5Colour Lovibond 5 1/4 " Yellow max 25C 12:0 C 14:0 (Myristic Acid) C 16:0 ( Palmitic Acid ) 10 - 15C16:1 (Palmitoleic Acid) C 18:0 ( Stearic Acid ) 1 - 4C 18:1 ( Oleic Acid ) 23 - 39C 18:2 ( Linoleic Acid ) 42 - 61C 18:3 ( Linolenic Acid ) 0,5 - 1,5C 20:0 ( Arachidic Acid ) 0,2 - 1,2C 20:1 ( Gadoleic Acid ) 0,1 - 1C 20:2 (Eicosenic Acid) C 22:0 ( Behenic Acid ) 0,1 - 1C 22:1 ( Erucic Acid ) < 0,3C 24:0 ( Lignoceric Acid ) SPECIFICATIONS COMMODITY: CRUDE CORN OILPARAMETER CHEMICAL SPECIFICATIONSFFA (As Oleic) 3%maxMoisture / Impurities 0.5% maxRefraction Index 0.4719- 1.4740 25CIodine Index 120-144Saponification 187/192Non Saponification matter 1.0% maxSoluble in petroleter 0.3%max Flash point 121C minPeroxide 2.0 MEQ 02/KG
