The present disclosure describes methods for reducing the content of minerals, metals, ions, and/or other undesirable contaminants in vegetable oil, such as corn oil, obtained from fermentation of ground vegetable material. In one aspect, the methods herein produce distiller's corn oil having low amounts of minerals, metals, ions, and/or other contaminants rendering the corn oil more suitable for various further uses, such as biofuel production, with little to no additional refining.

Methods of producing vegetable oils with low minerals, metals, or other contaminants

Vegetable oil compositions, as an example, corn oil, having an elevated lower alkyl ester content above about 7% weight percent of the total weight of the oil composition, and uses thereof are provided.

Enhanced alkyl ester containing oil compositions and methods of making and using the same

Methods to prepare vegetable oil compositions having an elevated ethyl ester content are provided.

Use of an esterase to enhance ethyl ester content in fermentation media

The present disclosure is related to refining one or more grain oil composition streams (e.g., distillers corn oil or syrup) in a biorefinery to provide one or more refined grain oil products, where each grain oil product has targeted amounts of a free fatty acid component and the fatty acid alkyl ester component.
