QUICK LINKS
Corn oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid), which constitutes about 50-60% of its fat content. It also contains monounsaturated fats (mainly oleic acid) and small amounts of saturated fats. While predominantly high in omega-6 fatty acids, corn oil also contains a small percentage of omega-3 fatty acids, though the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is considered high. Corn oil is used in the production of biodiesel as an alternative fuel source for diesel engines. Its use in biofuel aims to provide a more sustainable and environmentally friendly fuel option compared to traditional fossil fuels. Plasticizers and Resins: Due to its fatty acid content, corn oil can be chemically altered to produce plasticizers and resins used in various manufacturing processes.
