Abstract

Proizvodnja kukuruznog ulja uključuje nekoliko faza, uključujući ekstrakciju i rafiniranje. Fizičko rafiniranje, koje uključuje degumiranje, izbjeljivanje, uklanjanje voska i deodorizaciju, preferira se zbog svoje učinkovitosti i proizvodnje visokokvalitetnog ulja, iako može degradirati nezasićene masne kiseline zbog visokih temperatura. Kukuruzno ulje je popularno zbog svog ugodnog okusa i sadržaja zdravih masnih kiselina, što ga čini pogodnim za različite kulinarske svrhe. Visok sadržaj linolne kiseline u njemu zadovoljava potrebe za esencijalnim masnim kiselinama u prehrani. Osim toga, antioksidansi i vitamin E u kukuruznom ulju doprinose njegovoj stabilnosti i zdravstvenim koristima. Također se koristi u farmaceutici, kozmetici, proizvodnji biodizela i različitim industrijskim primjenama zbog svojih regenerativnih svojstava i visokog udjela nesaponificirajućih tvari.

Abstract (english)

The production of corn oil involves several stages, including extraction and refining. Physical refining, which includes degumming, bleaching, dewaxing, and deodorization, is preferred for its efficiency and production of high-quality oil, although it can degrade unsaturated fatty acids due to high temperatures. Corn oil is popular for its pleasant taste and content of healthy fatty acids, making it suitable for various culinary purposes. Its high linoleic acid content meets the dietary needs for essential fatty acids. Additionally, the antioxidants and vitamin E in corn oil contribute to its stability and health benefits. It is also used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, biodiesel production, and various industrial applications due to its regenerative properties and high content of unsaponifiable matter.
