Corn oil typically has a slightly lower oil yield than soybean or palm, but distillers corn oil (a byproduct of ethanol plants) offers high conversion efficiency and low feedstock cost. While palm oil leads in volume yield, corn oil stands out in cost-efficiency when sourced from ethanol production waste. The GlobeCore USB plant ensures over 98% conversion efficiency regardless of feedstock, making corn oil a competitive option with proper sourcing.
