CORN OIL

Interstarch offers crude corn oil as well as refined and deodorized corn oil. It is a natural substance produced in the process of corn germ pressing. During the corn starch production process, the corn germ is separated, crushed and heated in special roasters. Then it goes to two-stage pressing. Received oil is purified and filtrated. As a result, we get an unrefined (crude) corn oil. To obtain the refined and deodorized oil, crude oil is hydrated, neutralized and afterwards filtrated, deodorized and cooled without any use of chemical reagents.
