<p>In one embodiment, fat and/or protein liberated during a starch hydrolysis operation is suitably removed from the resulting starch hydrolysate solution by contacting said solution with a non-hydrolyzed granular starch material in a fashion so as to adsorb and/or coat said fat and/or protein onto said granular starch material and thereafter separating the resulting fat and/or protein containing starch material from said starch hydrolysate solution. In another embodiment, granular starch remaining non-hydrolyzed following a direct, granular starch hydrolysis process and having liberated fat and/or protein residues coated, adsorbed or otherwise accumulated thereon is pasted, thinned, separated from said fat and/or protein residues and recycled to said granular starch hydrolysis process for further hydrolysis to glucose therein.</p> |
