WET MILLING OF COARSE GROUND WHEAT AND OTHER CEREAL GRAINS

摘要

An improved wet milling process for obtaining starch, vital gluten and a balanced protein bran, germ and fiber animal feed from coarse ground wheat without acid steeping, alkali treatment, or dry roll milling of the grain kernels. The coarsely ground kernels are directly formed into a coarse grain batter using only fresh water with no additives, and the prime grade starch is washed away from the vital gluten in the coarse batter in the natural pH range of 3-6 for both starch and gluten with no denaturing of the gluten due to salt, alkali, or other chemical additives.
