Corn oil (maize oil) is oil extracted from the germ of corn (maize). Its main use is in cooking, where its high smoke point makes refined corn oil a valuable frying oil. It is also a key ingredient in some margarines. Corn oil is generally less expensive than most other types of vegetable oils.
Corn oil is also a feedstock used for biodiesel. Other industrial uses for corn oil include soap, salve, paint, erasers, rustproofing for metal surfaces, inks, textiles, nitroglycerin, and insecticides. It is sometimes used as a carrier for drug molecules in pharmaceutical preparations.
Almost all corn oil is expeller-pressed, then solvent-extracted using hexane or 2-methylpentane (isohexane).[1] The solvent is evaporated from the corn oil, recovered, and re-used. After extraction, the corn oil is then refined by degumming and/or alkali treatment, both of which remove phosphatides. Alkali treatment also neutralizes free fatty acids and removes color (bleaching). Final steps in refining include winterization (the removal of waxes), and deodorization by steam distillation of the oil at 232-260 C (450-500 F) under a high vacuum.
Corn oil is a source of polyunsaturated fats, which is beneficial by not raising cholesterol levels. It is a food that is a good antioxidant due to its high content of vitamin E. Corn oil is very moisturizing for hair and skin.

Crude Corn Oil is extracted from corn seeds without going through refining processes. It has a more intense color and flavor, in addition to containing natural impurities. Generally used in industry, it undergoes refinement to become suitable for human consumption, removing impurities and ensuring better quality and stability.
