Phosphorus Concentrations and Flow in Maize Wet-Milling Streams

Cereal Chem. 82(4):431–435 Marketing of coproducts such as corn gluten meal (CGM) and corn gluten feed (CGF) is important to the maize wet-milling industry. High phosphorus concentrations could lead to limited markets for CGF due to its potential to increase phosphorus in animal wastes. The objective was to measure the concentration and flow of phosphorus in the wet-milling process and identify...

Effect of Harvest Moisture Content and Ambient Air Drying on Maize Fiber Oil Yield and its Phytosterol Composition

In the conventional maize wet-milling process, a maize kernel is separated into its individual components. Starch (which constitutes 60–70% of the maize kernel) is the prime product. Other components of the maize kernel, which includes germ (oil), protein and the fiber, are recovered as coproducts. Presently, maize fiber is mixed with heavy steepwater and sometimes with germ meal to produce mai...

ارزیابی عملکرد علوفه و برخی شاخص‌های سودمندی در کشت مخلوط ذرت با چند لگوم در کشت دوگانه

In order to study the effects of intercropping maize with legume on forage quantity, field experiments were carried out at the Agricultural Research Station, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Tabriz, Iran, in 2006 and 2007 growing seasons. Two maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids (SC704, SC301), vetch (Vicia villosa), bitter vetch (Vicia ervilia), berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) and commo...

Effect of ball-milling on the physicochemical properties of maize starch

The effect of ball-milling on physicochemical properties of maize starch was evaluated. Results found that the cold water solubility (CWS) of maize starch was positively correlated with the time of milling up to 3 h. There was no significant influence of using a ceramic pot versus a stainless steel pot on CWS. However, following 5 h of ball-milling CWS increased quite dramatically in the cerami...
