This paper discusses the properties and composition of corn oil. Influences of processing steps on oil quality are described, along with alkali and physical refining, degumming, bleaching, dewaxing, deacification‐decodorization. A new method for wet degumming‐bleaching and deacidification‐deodorization is presented. Flowsheets and other data are given for a new 150 metric tons per day of corn oil plant.
