Abstract:
A SOLVENT EXTRACTION PROCESS FOR FRACTIONATING AN AMYLOSE POWDER HAVING A RANGE OF D.P. VALUES INTO A FRACTION HAVING D.P. VALUES ABOVE 50 AND A FRACTION HAVING D.P. VALUES BELOW 50. SOLVENTS WHICH MAY BE USED ARE WARM WATER, AN AQUEOUS 3-6 CARBON ALKANOL, AQUEOUS ACETONE AND AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF A FATTY ACID.
Abstract:
Process for subjecting granular starch material, on a continuous basis, to the combined action of a solvent for the starch material and liquid that is not a solvent for the starch material, under controlled conditions, including direct heating, so as to produce controlled amounts of desired change in the granular starch material. Exemplary applications are for the continuous production of granular preswollen starch, and texturized starch.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a corn-steeping process. In this process the temperature of the steeping water decreases from silo to silo and the cycling ratio is comprised between 0.8 and 1.2 m.sup.3 per ton of commercial corn.The Corn-Steep obtained can be applied especially in the manufacture of penicillin.
Abstract:
A starch wet milling process, in which a series of independent classifications and separations is carried out in the production of starch, employs a Starch Gluten Separation Station having a three-stage centrifugation treatment including passing the entire mill stream through a mill stream centrifuge thickener, followed by primary starch centrifuge separation and gluten centrifuge thickening.
