N. Singh et Sr. Eckhoff, WET-MILLING OF CORN - A REVIEW OF LABORATORY-SCALE AND PILOT PLANT-SCALE PROCEDURES, Cereal chemistry, 73(6), 1996, pp. 659-667
New corn hybrids and various handling and processing conditions can be
evaluated using laboratory- or pilot plant-scale procedures. Review o
f laboratory- and pilot plant-scale wet-milling procedures used in pas
t research indicates that while there are significant differences in s
ome of the procedures, most of the procedures can result in starch yie
ld and other component yields comparable to industrial values. The maj
or variable affecting accuracy and precision appears to be the attenti
on to detail expended by the researcher. Development of a standardized
wet-milling procedure may enhance the ability to compare data between
researchers.
