Recovery of values from cereal wastes.

摘要

An aqueous steeping process for producing a relatively pure bran and flour products from cereal grains such as oats, wheat and rye without conventional dry milling techniques. The aqueous steeped grains are macerated with an ethyl alcohol solution and the bran and flour products recovered therefrom. The aqueous alcoholic waste solutions are further processed by ion-exchange techniques to recover small quantities of high value by-products.
