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.[citation needed] One bushel of corn contains 1.55?
pounds of corn oil (2.8% by weight). Corn agronomists have developed?
high-oil varieties; however, these varieties tend to show lower field?
yields, so they are not universally accepted by growers.Corn oil is also a feedstock used for biodiesel. Other industrial uses?
for corn oil include soap, salve, paint, rustproofing for metal?
surfaces, inks, textiles, nitroglycerin, and insecticides. It is?
sometimes used as a carrier for drug molecules in pharmaceutical?
preparations.
