Corn oil is extracted from the germ of the corn kernel. The most common method is the use of a solvent to do it. The solvent can then be recovered and reused. The oil comprises a bit under 3% of the "stuff" in corn, and it takes manufacturing "muscle" to get out as much as possible and do it cost effectively. Corn oil doesn't cost all that much at the store and is widely used commercially. They must be doing it right. Got links if you want 'em.
