<p>A wet process for separating wheat, barley or rye starch granules according to size, and the new large granule cereal starch made thereby. The process involves subjecting a native colloid wheat, barley or rye starch slurry to hydrocyclonic separation in a first hydrocyclone, collecting the partially separated large granule underflow slurry from the first hydrocyclone, subjecting the partially separated large granule underflow slurry to hydrocyclonic separation in a second hydrocyclone, and collecting the large granule underflow from the second hydrocyclone to obtain a large granule cereal starch having at least 22% granules as large as 22 microns, about 99% by weight of the granules at least 12 microns in size, and substantially free of matter other than unbroken starch granules.</p> |
