Abstract
In the wet milling of a cereal grain such as corn for the recovery of starch and other products therefrom, steepwater containing much of the water soluble components of the grain, e.g., carbohydrates, proteins and minerals, is utilized as process water for each of the individual milling, screening, concentrating and washing operations and the process water is thereafter recycled for use as steepwater in a subsequent starch recovery sequence.
