AB The supercritical fluid extraction of corn germ oil has been studied in this work. Extractions were carriedout at different pressure, temperature and flow rate to analyze the influence of these variables on theextraction kinetics and the oil quality obtained. Extraction curves are initially linear with a slope close tothe oil solubility value in supercritical CO2. Based on these results a mathematical model was successfullyapplied to describe the extraction curves. Characterization of supercritical crude corn oil was performedby determining some physical parameters such as refraction index, density and color. Additionally, thefatty acid composition, neutral lipids, the content of tocopherols, acid index, peroxide value, antioxidantcapacity and the oxidative stability were determined in the corn oil extracted. Fatty acid composition wascompared with that for crude germ oil and no significant differences between the oils extracted by bothmethods were found. Oxidative stability test using the Rancimat showed that supercritical CO2 extractedcorn oil is less protected against oxidation than n-hexane extracted oils.
