Corn deep processing products are corn starch, corn oil, corn protein powder, edible alcohol, fuel ethanol and so on.
1, corn starch.
Corn starch (corn starch), also known as corn starch also known as bract flour. Commonly known as six grain flour. White slightly yellowish powder. Corn impregnated with 0.3% sulfurous acid, through the crushing, sieving, precipitation, drying, grinding and other processes and made.
The common product contains a small amount of fat and protein, etc.
2, corn oil.
Corn oil, also known as corn oil, corn germ oil, which is extracted from corn germ oil. The corn germ fat content is between 17% and 45%, accounting for about 80% of the total corn fat content. The fatty acids in corn oil are characterized by an unsaturated fatty acid content of 80% to 85%.
Corn oil is clarified and transparent, with a fresh aroma and a high soot point, making it well suited for quick cooking and frying of food.
3, corn protein powder.
Corn protein powder is corn kernels by the food industry to produce starch or brewing industry after the purification of by-products, the protein is rich in nutrients and has a special flavor and color, can be used as feed, and feed industry commonly used in the comparison of fishmeal, soybean cake, the advantage of the resource is obvious, the feeding value of the high, does not contain poisonous and harmful substances, no need to be re-treated, and can be used as a protein raw material directly.
Because of the low price of feed for sale, in recent years, some companies to corn protein powder as raw materials, from which the extraction of zeaxanthin and corn prions, developed into functional foods, added value greatly increased.
4, edible alcohol.
Edible Alcohol (Edible Alcohol), also known as fermented distilled spirits, mainly the use of potatoes, cereals, sugar as raw materials after cooking, saccharification, fermentation and other treatments for the food industry to use hydrous alcohol.
The flavor characteristics are divided into four parts: color, aroma, taste, and body, which means the content of the four main impurities of aldehydes, acids, esters, and alcohols in distilled spirits, and different flavors and gases will make the flavor of distilled spirits different.
5, fuel ethanol.
Fuel ethanol, generally refers to anhydrous ethanol with a volume concentration of 99.5% or more. Fuel ethanol is a clean-burning, high-octane fuel that is a renewable energy source. Ethanol is not only an excellent fuel, it is also an excellent fuel product improver.
The excellent characteristics are: ethanol is the fuel oxygenator, so that the gasoline to increase the internal oxygen, full combustion, to achieve energy saving and environmental protection purposes; ethanol can also be economically and effectively reduce the content of aromatics, olefins, that is, to reduce the cost of renovation of the refinery to achieve the new gasoline standards.
