GRAIN MILLING PROCESS

Номер: US20130102045A1
Автор: Binder Thomas P.
Принадлежит: ARCHER DANIELS MIDLAND COMPANY

A modification is described of a dry grind process for producing ethanol and other co-products from whole grain, whereby the mash is thermochemically treated by cooking the mash in the presence of an organic acid. The organic acid effectively hydrolyzes both the starch and hemicellulosic components in the milled corn to provide fermentable sugars from both the endosperm and other parts of the kernel, without, however, also producing fermentation-inhibiting levels of other known products of the acid hydrolysis of hemicellulosic materials, such as hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural. Further, the organic acid is able to solubilize both the starch and the more recalcitrant hemicelluloses while only partially hydrolyzing the same, so that most of the starch and hemicelluloses are hydrolyzed to oligomers and the amount of chemically labile and reducing sugars is kept sufficiently low as to also not appreciably interfere with the fermentation to ethanol. 1. An improved grain milling process including the production of ethanol by fermentation , comprising:grinding a whole grain;forming a slurry with water of the ground whole grain;adding one or more enzymes and one or more organic acids to the slurry with heating to liquefy fermentable components of the ground whole grain and produce a mash;adding an enzyme to the mash to form a fermentation medium for producing ethanol; andfermenting the fermentation medium in the presence of yeast and one or more added enzymes.2.

This invention disclosure relates to novel maize starch. The starch can be made from the newly developed waxy sugary-2 double-mutant maize that has low activity of Granule Bound Starch Synthase I (GBSSI), which results in low amylose level. The starch from newly developed waxy sugary-2 double-mutant is freeze-thaw stable and has high viscosity. In comparison with the starch of the existing waxy sugary-2 double-mutant maize, the new waxy sugary-2 double-mutant maize starch showed, inter alia, improved pasting profile, starch granule integrity, larger starch granule size, and higher viscosity.

The invention relates to edible films, and more particularly to a method for preparing a food packaging film with antibacterial activity. By adding konjac glucomannan and glycerin in starch to obtain a composite film, the aggregation and rearrangement effect among molecules of amylose starch can be weakened, the defects such as high brittleness and low ductility of high-amylose corn starch can be improved, and, since the konjac glucomannan is rich in dietary fiber that is slowly digestible, a low-calorie edible packaging film can be produced by compounding.

Starch hydrolysates as sequesterers

Номер: US5474718A
Автор: James E. Eastman
Принадлежит: Individual

A starch hydrolysate composition is particularly suited for use as a sequesterer, i.e., it readily interacts noncovalently with other molecules to form stable inclusion complexes which are useful in a variety of applications. The starch molecules in the composition which act as sequesterers are in the form of single helical inclusion complexes with starch molecules having a D.P. of about 10 to 200 and a weight-average D.P. of about 10 to 50 as the host molecule holding one or more guest molecules within their internal cavities. These hydrolysates are prepared by first converting amylopectin molecules from the double helix form to the single helix form and then by cleaving chain segments from the molecules.
