GENERAL INFORMATION
Refined Corn Oil Wholesale
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 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 pharmaceutical preparations.

A high smoke point and pleasant taste make Corn oil ideal for
frying, baking and all-round cooking.
Being odourless, it is also suitable for salad dressings and
margarine. The removal of free fatty acids from crude corn oil
gives it superb resistance to smoking or discoloration.
Obtained from corn kernels, Corn oil offers high levels of
poly-unsaturates.
