Corn alcohol is part of the family of grain neutral spirits (GNS) and is derived from corn - a versatile and widely cultivated crop. This raw material plays a pivotal role in both the food and non-food sector and is especially popular in the United States. Depending on its intended use, its purity levels can reach from 95 to 99.9% ABV / 190 to 199.8 proof.

The production of corn alcohol follows several key steps, beginning with the cultivation and harvesting of corn. Once harvested, the corn is milled into a fine powder and fermented, breaking down the starch into sugar, which is then converted into ethanol by yeast. After fermentation, the resulting ethanol is separated from the mash using distillation, where heat is applied to concentrate the alcohol and remove impurities.
At Nedstar, we work together with ethanol producers that employ cutting-edge technology and innovative, eco-friendly processes to optimize ethanol production. Their distillation methods are designed to reduce environmental impact by minimising water usage and energy consumption. This ensures our corn alcohol is both high-quality and produced sustainably.
More about ethanol production
Compared to other raw materials used for alcohol production like wheat, sugarcane, and rice, corn-based ethanol has distinct advantages. Since corn is abundantly grown in, amongst others, the US, China, and Brazil, it is an economically viable raw material, especially on a larger scale. While that makes it extremely cost-effective, it also uses more water and land than some other raw materials like rye.
When it comes to corn alcohol for beverages, corn-based spirits often boast a sweeter and smoother flavour profile. In contrast, other grains like rye and barley impart spicier or more robust flavours, often used in traditional European or rye whiskeys.
Corn alcohol is available in different grades, including food-grade ethanol for consumable products like spirits and denatured ethanol for industrial or pharmaceutical use. Corn stands out in spirit production with products such as whiskey, vodka, and gin, benefiting from its mild sweetness and smoothness. As a grain neutral spirit, its purity is especially advantageous when it comes to the creation of solvents and disinfectants.

Denaturants are chemicals added to ethanol to make it unfit for consumption and therefore exempt from excise taxes. At Nedstar, we use specific denaturants that comply with regional industry standards, ensuring the safety and legality of our corn alcohol for non-food applications. Choose from chemicals such as these to create your ideal denatured alcohol mix:

Corn alcohol is naturally gluten-free. Since corn does not contain gluten, the ethanol derived from it is safe for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. Ethanol made from grains containing gluten is also always gluten-free since its gluten compounds are distilled out of the final ethanol mixture.
Corn alcohol is a specific type of grain alcohol produced exclusively from corn. Grain alcohol, on the other hand, can be derived from a variety of grains, including wheat, barley, and rye. Corn alcohol is often chosen for its mild flavor and high yield, while other grain alcohols may have different taste profiles and characteristics.
Corn alcohol is commonly used in hand sanitisers and disinfectants due to its effectiveness in killing bacteria and viruses such as Covid-19. Ethanol made from corn serves as the primary active ingredient in many hand sanitisers, ensuring they meet the required alcohol concentration for proper sanitation. Also in other non-food applications such as perfumes and cleaning products, corn ethanol is a commonly used ingredient.
