Abstract
A process for the production of starch from cereals includes the steps (a) subjecting dry-ground dehusked grains to enzyme treatment, (b) homogenizing the treated product (optional), (c) extracting starch from the homogenized product, leaving the fibre, (d) concentrating the starch to yield a crude starch fraction and process water, (e) separating proteins from the crude starch and (f) separating the crude starch into primary and secondary starch fractions. The process assures that solubles will be maximized so that drying can be accomplished primarily by evaporators rather than by other types of dryers.
