A corn wet-milling process in which alkali was used was studied as an alternative to the conventional corn wet-milling procedure. In the alkali wet-milling process, corn was soaked in 2% NaOH at 85°C for 5 min and then debranned mechanically to obtain pericarp as a coproduct. Debranned corn was cracked in a roller mill, and the cracked corn was steeped with agitation for 1 hr in 0.5% NaOH at 45°C. The cracked and steeped corn was then processed to separate germ, fiber, and gluten by steps similar to those in conventional wet-milling. Alkali wet-milling yielded soakwater solids, pericarp, germ, starch, gluten, and fine fiber. The protein content of the starch and the starch content of the fiber from the alkali process were lower than those from the conventional process. 相似文献

Starch yield was significantly affected by all three main unit operations in alkali wet‐milling (debranning, roller milling, and steeping). The conditions for the three unit operations were studied using a single hybrid. Studies on debranning showed that optimal separation between pericarp and corn endosperm was obtained when corn was soaked in a 1.5–2% NaOH solution at 85°C for 5 min. Passing debranned corn through smooth roller mill once or twice did not affect the product yields, but passing the corn through the roller mill three times decreased the germ yield because of a large amount of broken germ. A 62% higher processing rate could be achieved when passing corn through the mill twice than by passing it through the mill once. The gap should be set at 2.0 mm when passing corn through the mill once, and it should be set at 3.5 mm for the first pass and 2.0 mm for the second pass when passing corn through the mill twice. Starch yield was more sensitive to NaOH concentration and steep temperature than to steep time. The highest starch yield was obtained when steeping corn in 0.5% NaOH for 1 hr at 45°C. 相似文献

Effect of lactic acid, SO2, temperature, and their interactions were assessed on the dynamic steeping of a Brazilian dent corn (hybrid XL 606) to determine the ideal relationship among these variables to improve the wet‐milling process for starch and corn by‐products production. A 2×2×3 factorial experimental design was used with SO2 levels of 0.05 and 0.1% (w/v), lactic acid levels of 0 and 0.5% (v/v), and temperatures of 52, 60, and 68°C. Starch yield was used as deciding factor to choose the best treatment. Lactic acid added in the steep solution improved the starch yield by an average of 5.6 percentage points. SO2 was more available to break down the structural protein network at 0.1% than at the 0.05% level. Starch‐gluten separation was difficult at 68°C. The lactic acid and SO2 concentrations and steeping temperatures for better starch recovery were 0.5, 0.1, and 52°C, respectively. The Intermittent Milling and Dynamic Steeping (IMDS) process produced, on average, 1.4% more starch than the conventional 36‐ hr steeping process. Protein in starch, oil content in germ, and germ damage were used as quality factors. Total steep time can be reduced from 36 hr for conventional wet‐milling to 8 hr for the IMDS process. 相似文献

A procedure that reduces diffusional limitations by periodically milling the corn to reduce particle size and stirring the ground mash in the presence of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and lactic acid was developed. The process, called intermittent milling and dynamic steeping (IMDS), includes three main stages: initial soaking (a short-time immersion in water) of whole kernels, initial cracking of the partially hydrated kernels, and dynamic steeping with interspersed milling. This study evaluated the three stages of the process separately, evaluating the effect of variables on each stage of the process. Corn fractions yield (germ, fiber, gluten, starch) were used to decide the best conditions for the soaking and steeping stages, and germ damage was used to determine the best kernel cracking method. Starch, gluten, and germ yields were not affected by soak temperatures (52–68°C) or soak time (1–3 hr). A temperature of 60°C was chosen for soaking because it increased the rate of kernel hydration without gelatinizing starch, which happens at higher temperatures. A 2-hr soak time was preferred because there was less fiber in the germ fraction and less germ damage was observed. Although there were no advantage to using SO2 or lactic acid in the soak water, the presence of these compounds during dynamic steeping enhanced starch yield. The starch yield for 3 hr of dynamic steeping was not statistically different from the starch yield for a 7.5-hr dynamic steep. The Bauer mill was preferred over the use of a roller mill or a commercial grade Waring blender for kernel cracking. The IMDS process produced, on an average, 1 percentage point more starch than the conventional 36-hr steeping process. Total steep or kernel preparation time was reduced from 24–40 hr for conventional wet-milling to 5 hr for the IMDS process. 相似文献

The effect of lactic acid on starch yields of different corn hybrids was determined by wet-milling 18 commercial corn hybrids at three levels of lactic acid. All 18 hybrid samples tested had higher starch yields when lactic acid was added to the steep solution, although the magnitude of the increased starch yields varied between 2.9 and 12.0%. The optimal lactic acid concentration for maximum starch recovery was found to be between 0.55 and 1.67% lactic acid, by wet-milling nine of the same 18 corn hybrids with seven levels of added lactic acid. Between 0.83 and 1.67% lactic acid, the starch yields of eight of the nine hybrids were constant (within ±0.5%). Results showed that the average starch yield across all hybrids decreased with a lactic acid concentration <0.55% and a lactic acid concentration >1.67%. 相似文献

The effect of adding lactic acid and sulfur dioxide at different times from the start of batch steeping on corn starch yields was studied. Five commercial hybrids were steeped with 0.5% lactic acid or 0.2% sulfur dioxide added over the first 15 hr of steeping and wet-milled following a 100-g corn wet-milling procedure. No significant differences were observed in starch yields when lactic acid was added to the steep solution (SO2 and water) from 0 hr (start of steeping) to 15 hr. Addition of SO2 to the steep solution (lactic acid and water) resulted in significantly higher average starch yields when SO2 was added between 5 and 15 hr compared with addition at 0 hr (SO2 and lactic acid for full 24 hr of steeping). Based on the results of the first experiment, a second experiment was done in which one of five original hybrids was steeped for 24 hr, during which lactic acid or SO2 was added until 23.9 hr (i.e., 5 min before milling) after the start of steeping. Similar results were found in the second experiment. Residual protein in starch samples did not exceed 0.85%. Steepwater protein content decreased with delays (16–20 hr) in adding either chemical to the steep solution. A significant effect on starch pasting properties of chemicals and duration of chemicals in steep-water was observed. Testing these findings using a larger scale (1,000 g) corn wet-milling procedure produced results similar to those obtained with the 100-g corn wet-milling procedure. 相似文献

A procedure based on the resistance and capacitance (RC) properties of corn to calculate a displacement value (DV) was evaluated for detection of corn that had reduced wet-milling quality. In 1991 and 1992, three hybrids were dried at air temperatures between ambient and 115°C in batch dryers. Additional samples, obtained from commercial elevators in 1992, had been dried with air temperatures ranging from 52 to 136°C. A baseline reference relationship was developed between log10-resistance and capacitance with data from ambient-dried samples. A DV was defined as the horizontal distance along the capacitance axis from a sample RC data point to the baseline reference. RC properties of samples dried at air temperatures >50°C were compared to the baseline and the DV determined. Selected drying treatments were wet-milled by a laboratory-scale procedure to verify milling quality and correlation with DV. The effects attributed to hybrid and harvest moisture content on the RC properties of ambient-dried samples were small, allowing the baseline reference to be applied to a wide range of corn samples. In 1992, the baseline shifted upward from the 1991 baseline by 0.5 units on the log10-resistance axis. DV increased significantly at drying air temperatures >50°C for batchdried samples. While DV correlated with drying temperature in batchdried samples (r = 0.66), it did not correlate with starch yield or recovery of commercial samples (r ≤0.10). Although the specific causes could not be determined, the shift in the baseline indicates the method would be difficult to implement on a practical scale. Although not indicated by DV, starch recovery decreased significantly for samples batch-dried at air temperatures ≥70°C. All samples dried at 115–136° had significantly lower starch recoveries. 相似文献

One waxy and three regular yellow dent corn hybrids were wet milled by using two scales of laboratory procedures (modified 100-g and 1-kg) and a pilot-plant procedure (10-kg). The modified 100-g and 1-kg laboratory procedures gave similar yields of wet-milling fractions. Starch yields and recoveries were significantly lower for the pilot-plant procedure, whereas gluten and fiber yields were greater because of their high contents of unrecovered starch. Protein contents of the starches obtained by all three procedures were within commercially acceptable limits (<0.50% db for normal dent corn and <0.30% for waxy corn). Rankings for starch yields and starch recoveries for the four hybrids, having very different physical and compositional properties, were the same for all three procedures. The harder the grain, the lower the yield and recovery of starch. Least significant differences (P < 0.05) for starch yield were 0.8% for the modified 100-g procedure, 1.2% for the 1-kg procedure, and 2.0% for the pilot-plant procedure. 相似文献

The present research evaluated the feasibility of using ozone (O3) to replace sulfur dioxide (SO2) in corn steeping. Traditionally, steep water contains 0.1–0.2% sulfur dioxide to promote starch‐protein separation and high starch yields, and to control microbial growth. However, residual SO2 in starch products affects product quality and jeopardizes the “organic products” claims. Also, SO2 discharged to the environment pollutes water and air. Ozone is a strong oxidant and disinfectant with a capability to control the growth of putrefactive microorganisms in steeping systems, and to break down the endosperm protein matrix and, hence, improve starch release. This study demonstrates that an ozone‐aided steeping (OAS) process had starch yields as high as conventional SO2 steeping. OAS processes can be conducted at a lower temperature (20°C vs. 50°C) and for shorter times (36 hr vs. 48 hr) than the conventional SO2 processes, suggesting significant energy savings and increased productivity. We have found that the timing of ozone application is of great importance to the performance of the OAS process. 相似文献

Laboratory-isolated buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) starch was compared to commercial corn and wheat starches. Buckwheat starch granules (2.9–9.3 μm) were round and polygonal with some holes and pits on the surface. Buckwheat starch had higher amylose content, waterbinding capacity, and peak viscosity, and it had lower intrinsic viscosity when compared with corn and wheat starches. Buckwheat starch also showed restricted swelling power at 85–95°C and lower solubility in water at 55–95°C and was more susceptible to acid and enzymatic attack. Gelatinization temperatures, determined by differential scanning calorimetry, were 61.1–80.1°C for buckwheat starch compared to 64.7–79.2°C and 57.1–73.5°C for corn and wheat starches, respectively. A second endotherm observed at 84.5°C was an amylose-lipid complex attributed to the internal lipids in buckwheat starch, as evidenced by selective extraction. The retrogradation of buckwheat, corn, and wheat starch gels was examined after storage at 25, 4, and -12°C for 1–15 days. In general, buckwheat starch retrogradation was slower than that of corn and wheat starch, but it increased as storage time increased, as did that of the other starch pastes. When the values of the three storage temperatures were averaged for each storage period analyzed, buckwheat starch gels showed a lower percentage of retrogradation than did corn and wheat starch gels. Buckwheat starch also had a lower percentage of water syneresis when stored at 4°C for 3–10 days and had better stability to syneresis after three freeze-thaw cycles at -12 and 25°C. 相似文献

The fate of DNA during steeping, wet-milling, and subsequent processing of maize was examined using a sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR-based) detection system. The system used specific amplification of maize DNA sequences by primers generated toward plant nuclear- and chloroplast-encoded genes. The PCR method facilitated analysis of DNA content in food products, which is an important issue in use of genetically modified organisms. In a conventional laboratory wet-milling countercurrent steep system, DNA was detected in maize kernels throughout the process but was not found in steepwater. After kernels were wet-milled, DNA was detected in the starch, germ, coarse fiber, and wet gluten fractions but not in the fine fiber fraction. When dried by heating at 135°C for 2 hr, DNA was degraded to undetectable levels in the wet-milled gluten fraction and hydrated kernels. DNA was not detected in feed pellets, starch, dextrose, sorbitol, or high-fructose maize syrup made from industrial wet-milled samples. Although DNA could be detected in laboratory wet-milled fractions, some degree of degradation occurred after extended exposure to steepwater. Countercurrent steepwater samples from the later stages of the steeping process were able to degrade DNA. The level of DNA degradation appeared to correspond to the presence of sulfur dioxide and may represent a physiochemical rather than an enzyme-mediated process. Our results indicate that some steps in the steeping and wet-milling process can degrade maize genomic and plastid DNA. 相似文献

Two corn hybrids (3394 and 33R87) were steeped with three sulfite salts and five acids to test the effect of sulfur dioxide (SO2) source and acid sources on wet‐milling yields and starch properties. Milling yields from each treatment were compared with a control sample that was steeped with 2,000 ppm of SO2 (using sodium metabisulfite) and 0.55% lactic acid. Sulfur dioxide sources were potassium sulfite, sodium sulfite, and ammonium sulfite; acids were acetic, hydrochloric, oxalic, phosphoric, and sulfuric. Starch yields were affected by the SO2 source and steep acids but the effects were hybrid‐dependent. Different steep acids gave different starch yields when wet milled at the same pH. Among the acids tested, weak acids (lactic and acetic) tended to give higher starch yields compared with strong acids (hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, and oxalic). Some differences were observed with different sulfite salts and acids on starch pasting properties; however, there were no clear trends. 相似文献

Starch was isolated from 95 sorghum landraces from Zimbabwe using an alkali steep and wet‐milling procedure. The physicochemical properties of sorghum starch were examined for potential use in Southern Africa. All the landraces evaluated had a normal endosperm indicated by the amylose content of the starches. Starch properties were not correlated to most of the physical grain quality traits evaluated. Grain hardness was weakly correlated to starch gel adhesiveness (r = 0.36) and amylose content (r = 0.38) (P < 0.001). The mean peak viscosity (PV) of the sorghum starches was 324 Rapid Visco Analyser units (RVU) compared with 238 RVU in a commercial corn starch sample; PV was 244–377 RVU. Some landraces had low shear‐thinning starches, implying good paste stability under hot conditions. Pasting properties were highly correlated among the sorghum starches. The starch gel hardness showed considerable variation (44–71 g) among the landraces. Gelatinization peak temperatures were 66–70°C. The thermal properties of starches were not correlated with starch swelling and pasting properties. Genotype grouping by highest and lowest values in each category would allow selection of sorghums based on a specific attribute depending on the desired end use. 相似文献

Wet-Milling Characteristics of Selected Yellow Dent Corn Hybrids as Influenced by Storage Conditions
Three yellow dent corn hybrids (FR1064×LH59, FR600×FR1087, and FR618×LH123HT) from the 1994 crop, one hybrid (FR1064×LH59) from the 1995 crop, and two hybrids (FR1064×LH59 and FR618×LH123HT) from the 1996 crop were used to study the effect of storage time and storage temperature on starch yields. Samples of all of the corn hybrids were stored under one of two conditions: in a 4°C cold room or under a shed exposed to ambient conditions. The hybrids from the 1994, 1995, and 1996 crops were stored for up to 24, 12, and 3 months, respectively. No significant differences were found between starch yields of the hybrids with respect to storage time. However, there was a significant difference in hybrids from the 1994 samples. Starch yields of two of the three corn hybrids (from the 1994 crop) stored in the 4°C cold room were higher when compared to the starch yields of the same hybrids stored at ambient conditions. 相似文献

Raw material variability is common for starch processors and is responsible for increased processing costs. In this study, variability of starch acetylation due to hybrid influence was quantified. Six waxy corn (maize) hybrids from 1998 and five waxy corn hybrids from 1999 were wet‐milled in the laboratory. Starch obtained from each hybrid was modified according to a laboratory‐scale acetylation procedure. To evaluate reaction efficiency, reaction rate, acetyl content, pH, and amount of NaOH used were recorded for each reaction. After modification, a Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA) was used to characterize modified starches and determine differences in modified starches from different hybrids. Using the same acetylation protocol, reaction efficiencies were observed at 47–73%. Reaction efficiencies were significantly lower for 1998 hybrids (50.0%) compared with the efficiency observed for the same hybrids grown in 1999 (62.7%). Acetylated starch from 1999 had increased peak, trough and final viscosities and increased reaction efficiency as compared with acetylated starch from 1998. Differences in setback were observed among 1998 hybrids for acetylated samples. Differences in trough and final viscosity were observed among 1999 hybrids for acetylated and native (unmodified) samples. Differences in breakdown among 1999 hybrids also were observed for native samples. 相似文献

The structural features of starch were examined to better understand the causes of variability in rice quality resulting from nighttime air temperature (NTAT) incidence during kernel development. Starch samples were isolated from head rice of four cultivars (Bengal, Cypress, LaGrue, and XL723) field‐grown in four Arkansas locations (Keiser, Pine Tree, Rohwer, and Stuttgart) in 2009 and 2010. Average NTATs recorded during the grain‐filling stages of rice reproductive growth in the four locations were 3.0–8.4°C greater in 2010 than 2009. Elevated NTATs altered the deposition of starch in the rice endosperm. Means pooled across cultivars and locations showed that amylose content was 3.1% (percentage points) less for the 2010 sample set. The elevated NTATs in 2010 resulted in a decrease in the percentage of amylopectin short chains (DP ≤ 18) and a corresponding increase in the percentage of long chains (DP ≥ 19) by an average of 1.3% (percentage points). The greater NTATs in 2010 also produced greater starch paste peak, final, and breakdown viscosities, whereas setback and total setback viscosities decreased. Changes in paste viscosity were highly correlated with the changes in the proportion of amylose and amylopectin. Onset gelatinization temperature was greater by 3.5°C, gelatinization enthalpy by 1.3 J/g, and relative crystallinity by 1.5% (percentage points) for the 2010 sample set. Changes in gelatinization parameters and granule relative crystallinity were highly correlated with the changes in amylopectin chain‐length distribution. Year × cultivar × location interaction effects were statistically insignificant, indicating that the four cultivars evaluated all showed some degree of susceptibility to the effects of temperature incidence during kernel development, regardless of the growing location. 相似文献

Wheat and corn maltodextrins (W-MD 8 and C-MD 8) with dextrose equivalent (DE) 2–3 were prepared by heterogeneous bacterial α-amylase digestion of a 15% starch paste at 95°C for 8 min followed by cooling and spray-drying. Gels of the two maltodextrins appeared opaque with a glossy surface and melted reversibly at ≈65°C. Scanning electron micrographs showed that the products were divided finely and had few large remnants of starch granules. The fine granulation of W-MD 8 and C-MD 8 caused some clumping in cold water; homogeneous solutions were achieved with vigorous stirring at 90°C. Size-exclusion chromatograms showed that the two products contained similar broad, molecular-weight distributions of saccharides. A commercial potato maltodextrin marketed as a fat-replacer contained fewer short-length molecules when compared to W-MD 8 and C-MD 8, whereas a commercial corn maltodextrin fatreplacer contained more. High-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed-amperometric detection showed that all four maltodextrins contained only linear maltosaccharides between DP 2 and 25, with elevated levels of maltotriose and maltohexaose. The new wheat and corn maltodextrins contained 0.6–1.0% lipids and became rancid when stored at >30°C. The rancidity development in W-MD 8 was eliminated either by alkali treatment of starting starch or by charcoal treatment of the warm hydrolyzate. 相似文献

The effects of harvest moistures and frozen storage times on corn wet‐milling yields and the pasting properties of the resulting starch were studied. Pioneer hybrid P‐0916‐XR harvested at three moisture contents (49, 35, and 21% wb) were stored frozen for three days or for five months, followed by wet‐milling. The pasting properties of the resulting starch were evaluated with a Rapid Visco Analyzer. The yields of starch and germ increased by 1.2 and 1.9 percentage points, respectively, when harvest moisture decreased from 49 to 21% wb, whereas the yields of steep water solids, total fiber, and gluten decreased by 2.1, 0.7, and 0.6 percentage points, respectively. The frozen corn had lower coarse fiber yields but higher cellular fiber yields. The starch pasting properties showed that peak and breakdown viscosities decreased by 8% (3,824 ± 36 versus 3,520 ± 38 cP) and 13% (2,336 ± 47 versus 2,029 ± 60 cP), respectively, when harvest moisture decreased from 49 to 21% wb, whereas peak time increased by 5% (6.32 ± 0.06 versus 6.62 ± 0.07 min). The setback and final viscosities of starch from long‐term frozen storage (five months) were 14% (1,574 ± 65 versus 1,828 ± 79 cP) and 8% (3,063 ± 27 versus 3,317 ± 101 cP) lower, respectively, than that from control (unfrozen) corn. 相似文献

Wet fractionation of barley flours was conducted to identify appropriate fractionation water temperature considering the recovery and purity of starch and protein. In abraded hulless regular barley, yield of starch fraction, starch recovery, and purity of the protein fraction increased from 43.3 to 45.7%, from 61.7 to 64.8%, and from 37.6 to 65.2% when water temperature in fractionation was increased from 23 to 60°C. In abraded hulless waxy barley, recovery of starch with 40°C water was much greater (67.7%) than that at other temperatures (<61.7%). Starch recovery and protein purity of regular barley cultivars were higher than those of waxy barley cultivars with fractionation water of 60°C. In whole hulless barley flours fractionated with 60°C water, waxy barley flours showed similar to or higher protein purity (44.8–48.9%) than regular barley flours (42.8– 44.6%), while regular barley flours exhibited higher starch recovery (>60.6%) than waxy barley flours (<57.3%). The purity of isolated starch was >97.7%, regardless of water temperature and barley type. Considering yield and recovery of the isolated starch, and purity of the isolated protein, 60°C water for hulless regular barley and 40°C for hulless waxy barley seem to be appropriate for fractionation of barley flour for isolation of starch and protein. 相似文献

Physicochemical properties of starch of three common (Fagopyrum esculentum) and three tartary (F. tataricum) buckwheat varieties from Shanxi Province, China, were compared. Starch color, especially b*, differed greatly between tartary (7.99–9.57) and common (1.97–2.42) buckwheat, indicating that removal of yellow pigments from tartary buckwheat flour may be problematic during starch isolation. Starch swelling volume in water of reference wheat starch (2.8% solids and 92.5°C) was 20.1 mL; for the three common buckwheat starches it was 27.4–28.0 mL; and for the three tartary buckwheat starches it was 26.5–30.8 mL. Peak gelatinization temperature (Tp) in water was 63.7°C for wheat starch, 66.3–68.8°C for common buckwheat and 68.8–70.8°C for tartary buckwheat. Tp of all samples was similarly delayed (by 4.0–4.8°C) by 1% NaCl. Enthalpy of gelatinization (ΔH) was higher for all six buckwheat starches than it was for wheat starch. However, one common buckwheat sample had significantly lower ΔH than the others. Starch pasting profiles, measured by a Rapid Visco-Analyzer, were characteristic and similar for all six buckwheat starches, and very different from the reference wheat starch. A comparison of pasting characteristics of common and tartary buckwheat starches to wheat starch indicated similar peak viscosity, higher hot paste viscosity, higher cool paste viscosity, smaller effect of NaCl on peak viscosity, and higher resistance to shear thinning. Texture profile analysis of starch gels showed significantly greater hardness for all buckwheat samples when compared to wheat starch. 相似文献
