Abstract
A process for the production of grain oil, dehydrated alcohol, grain protein and starch, is disclosed. The invention comprises the steps of (a) drying cracked grain, (b) leaching the dried grain with an ethanol solution of 90 to 100% w/v ethanol and recovering dehydrated alcohol and grain oil, (c) extracting the residue of step (b) with a second ethanol solution containing NaOH and recovering food grade protein, and (d) separating starch and fiber from the residue of step (c) by starch hydrolysis or by grinding the residue and separating the starch and fiber by a screen and/or centrifuge.
