  2. Corn oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_oil

    Almost all corn oil is expeller-pressed, then solvent-extracted using hexane or 2-methylpentane (isohexane). [1] The solvent is evaporated from the corn oil, recovered, and re-used. After extraction, the corn oil is then refined by degumming and/or alkali treatment, both of which remove phosphatides. Alkali treatment also neutralizes free fatty ...
