Fatty acid composition of maize germ oil from high-oil hybrids wet-milling processing [PDF]
Maize germ was obtained by wet-milling laboratory processing of domestic high-oil maize hybrids. After separation, the germ was subjected to extraction of maize oil. Fatty acid composition of maize germ oil was determined by gas chromatography.
