Crude Corn Oil – Unrefined Base for Refining and Industrial Applications

Product Overview

Crude Corn Oil is the unrefined oil extracted from the germ of maize kernels through mechanical or solvent extraction. Naturally rich in linoleic acid, tocopherols (vitamin E), and phytosterols, it serves as a key raw material for refining into edible-grade oil and also as an important feedstock for biodiesel and industrial manufacturing. Its mild aroma and stable composition make it highly suitable for downstream processing in both food and non-food industries.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply Crude Corn Oil (CCO) sourced from certified processors operating under ISO 22000 Food Safety Management. Our product is carefully filtered and standardized to meet international refining parameters, ensuring efficiency, stability, and reliability for all industrial applications.
