METHOD FOR PREPARING SOLUBLE DIETARY FIBER FROM CORN HULL

摘要

The present invention relates to a high yield process for producing soluble dietary fiber from corn hull. More specifically, the present invention comprises removing starch and protein with enzymes from corn hull which is by-product of wet-milling process for production of corn starch, extracting the resultant with alkaline solution to form a alkaline extract, treating the alkaline extract with enzymes, and drying the enzyme-treated solution, to produce dietary fiber with low viscosity and containing hemicellulose as a major component at high yield.
