PROCESS OF FORMING CORN FLAKING GRITS OF IMPROVED QUALITY WITH MINIMIZATION OF PRODUCTION OF CORN DOUBLES

摘要

A process for milling corn comprises mixing water and corn kernels to providea tempering mixture; holding the tempering mixture for a time and temperatureeffective for lifting hull off from the endosperm of the corn kernels, but atime and temperature which is not effective for moisture to substantiallypenetrate into the endosperm of the corn kernels; and abrasively removing germand bran from the moistened tempered corn of the corn kernels. In oneembodiment, whole corn kernels are separated into large kernel and small corncomponents and the large and small corn components are milled separately.
