Corn Oil is the oil obtained from the germ of the maize plant. the
unsaturated fatty acids linoleic and oleic make up 80–85% of the
total fatty acids. the tocopherols prevent the oil from oxidizing
rapidly. it has a low melting point of ?18°c to ?10°c. it is used in
mayonnaise, margarine, salad oil, and bakery products. | [CAS DataBase Reference]

| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Clear light yellow or yellow oil | [Uses]
Usually used in research applications as delivery vehicle for fat-soluble compounds including toxins. | [General Description]
Clear light yellow or yellow oily liquid. Faint taste. Faint odor. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Insoluble in water. | [Reactivity Profile]
On prolonged exposure to air, CORN OIL thickens and becomes rancid. CORN OIL is sensitive to light. | [Fire Hazard]
CORN OIL is combustible. | [Definition]
Extractives and their physically modified derivatives. It consists primarily of the glycerides of the fatty acids linoleic, oleic, palmitic and stearic. | [Production Methods]
Refined corn oil is obtained from the germ or embryo of Zea mays Linne(Fam.Gramineae),which contains nearly 50% of the fixed oil compared with 3.0–6.5% in the whole kernel. The oil is obtained from the embryo by expression and/or solvent extraction. Refining involves the removal of free fatty acids, phospholipids, and impurities; decolorizing with solid adsorbents; dewaxing by chilling; and deodorization at high temperature and under vacuum.
| [Agricultural Uses]
Corn oil is an adjuvant used in herbicide sprays. It improves their function by improving wetting, reducing evaporation, increasing penetration and enhancing deposition and compatibility. Corn oil is not phyto-toxic; it is added for better penetration in plant leaves. | [Pharmaceutical Applications]
Corn oil is used primarily in pharmaceutical formulations as a solvent for intramuscular injections or as a vehicle for topical preparations. Emulsions containing up to 67% corn oil are also used as oral nutritional supplements; see also Section 18. When combined with surfactants and gel-forming polymers, it is used to formulate veterinary vaccines.
Corn oil has a long history of use as an edible oil and may be used in tablets or capsules for oral administration. | [Safety]
Corn oil is generally regarded as a relatively nontoxic and nonirritant material with an extensive history of usage in food preparation. | [storage]
Corn oil is stable when protected with nitrogen in tightly sealed bottles. Prolongedexposureto airleads tothickening and rancidity. Cornoilmaybesterilizedbydryheat,maintainingitat150°C for 1 hour.
Corn oil should be stored in an airtight, light-resistant container in a cool, dry place. Exposure to excessive heat should be avoided. | [Incompatibilities]
The photooxidation of corn oil is sensitized by cosmetic and druggrade samples of coated titanium oxide and zinc oxide. | [Regulatory Status]
Included in the FDA Inactive Ingredients Database (IM injections, oral capsules, suspensions, and tablets). Included in the Canadian List of Acceptable Non-medicinal Ingredients. |
