Maize oil (com oil) is obtained from maize germ (the embryos of Zea mays L.) (Codex Alimentarius, 1999). Unlike most other vegetable oils, com oil (maize oil) is obtained from seeds (kernels) that only contain 3-5% oil. Obtaining oil directly from the kernels is technically possible, but com kernel oil would be costly to produce, because of the low levels of oil in the kernels. Com germ is rich in oil (>30%), and is the source of all the commercial com oil, which could more accurately be called com germ oil (Gunstone, 2011). 

Other vegetable oils like avocado, borage, maize germ, etc., rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, are extensively used for treatment products because the organism is unable to synthesize them, though it needs them to maintain the barrier function healthy. It has been observed that patients with dermatitis have low tissular levels of all the polyunsaturated derivatives of linoleic acid and that local applications of this acid soothes the skin and reduces the transepidermal water loss. 

Syn. Com Germ Oil Maize Oil G. Maisol E huile de mais S.V. 187-196 i.v. 109-133 C. is obtained from - com germs. The total maize grain contains 3-7% of c., up to 87% of which is in the germ and is called com germ oil, while the rest is distributed in the other part of the kernel. Both oils have roughly the same fatty acid pattern ... 

The methods used to separate the starch vary, depending on the raw material. Maize is normally wet milled. Initially the maize kernels are steeped in dilute sulfuric acid for 40 50 hours to soften the kernels. Next, the kernels are milled to release the germ that contains the oil. The fibre is then separated from the endosperm by milling it finer. Centrifuges are then used to separate the starch from the protein. After this the starch is washed and dried.
