Refined Corn Oil
Corn oil is produced from the germ of the corn (Zea Mays). The corn kernel is grinded by the starch industry for the production of starch and glucose syrups. By separating the starch, by-products are created of which corngerms are one. Corn oil distinguishes itself from other Vegetable Oils through its high content in essential fatty acids (56%), vitamin E, phytosterols and other important minor components such as coenzymes Q9 and Q10. Essential fatty acids (omega-6 linoleic acid and omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid) are essential biological elements that must be absorbed through food as the body itself is unable to synthesise them.
The essential fatty acids in corn oil can help to:
-Prevent high blood pressure.
-Slow down diabetic effects.
-Combat obesity.
-Keep up the immune system.
Corn oil contains approx 45 mg vitamin E per 100 g. Vitamin E is important for the protection of cell membranes. It is a major antioxidant responsible for actively capturing free radicals.
Phytosterols have a markedly favourable effect on cholesterol levels (lowering effect). Phytosterols and their derivatives decrease the intake of bad cholesterol (LDL), thereby reducing the chances of heart and vascular disease. Phytosterols also decreases the risk of colon cancer. Compared to other vegetable oils, corn oil has the highest phytosterol content. Contact us Now for specifications and best pricing 20% Off !!!!!!!
