Abstract:
STARCH WHICH HAS BEEN TREATED WITH A HYDROPHILIC ORGANIC SOLVENT SUCH AS A LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT ALCOHOL, KETONE, OR THE LIKE, AND WHICH, AS A RESULT, RETAINS RELATIVELY LARGE QUANTITIES OF THE SOLVENT, IS DESOLVENTIZED BY CONTACTING IT WITH A HOT HUMID GAS, SUCH AS, FOR EXAMPLE, STEAM OR MOIST AIR, WHILE MAINTAINING THE STARCH AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM ABOUT 160*F. TO ABOUT 320*F. AND AT A MOISTURE LEVEL OF FROM ABOUT 1% TO ABOUT 15%. THE PROCESS IS APPLICABLE TO ANY TYPE OR VARIETY OF STARCH, IN EITH NON-GELATINIZED OR PREGELATINIZED FORM; THE PROCESS DOES NOT ALTER OR OTHERWISE AFFECT THE PROPERTIES OF THE STARCH.
Abstract:
A SERIES OF NOVEL CATIONIC CEREAL FLOURS ARE DESCRIBED IN WHICH THE PROTEIN PROTION OF THE FLOUR IS MODIFIED BY CERTAIN TERTIARY AMINES OR QUATERNARY AMMONIUM SALTS.
Abstract:
The plant comprises a single reactor divided into adjacent cells which communicate together with a limited passage opening. An inlet for a primary starch fraction and an inlet for a starch-reducing product open into one end-cell, an outlet for the glue connects to the other end-cell and an inlet for a secondary starch fraction opens into an intermediate cell. In this intermediate cell a baffle-plate is mounted. A stirrer is mounted in the reactor and comprises in each cell a stirring disc extending eccentrically relative to the geometrical reactor axis.
Abstract:
The production rate and yield resulting from the washing of starch conversion products containing swollen starch granules is improved by the addition to the wash water of 0.1 to 1% by weight, based on starch solids, of a cationic polymer which is a water-soluble acid salt of an aminoalkyl ester of a carboxylic acid polymer.
