A process for the fractionation of oats is described, which processes comprises the consecutive steps of a) dry-milling dehulled oats, b) soaking the resulting oat flour in an aqueous medium, c) screening and dewatering fibre, d) separating and dewatering gluten, e) fractionating the crude starch to obtain a primary (A) and a secondary (B) starch fraction. The soaking step (b) is preferably carried out in the presence of cell wall degrading enzymes. The fractionating step (e) is preferably carried out in a multicyclone system. |
