The Corn Germs that are obtained through the processes of either wet degermination or dry degermination are used for the oil extraction process. The corn germs are then conditioned and flaked so that the yield of oil will be of a high quantity. After the conditioning and flaking processes, the corn germs are further fed into the oil expellers / screw presses so that the oil will be pressed in the process. The oil that is extracted through expelling is then collected and sent for filtration so that the end oil product can be used for human consumption.

Corn Germ oil is estimated to contain life essential fatty acids and has a very mild taste. It is also a well known source of Vitamin E.
