Corn gluten meal is also utilized in agriculture.Method of Production The most common process for making corn gluten meal is wet-milling.
Manufacturing Process
Method of Production The most common process for making corn gluten meal is wet-milling. In this process, water impregnated with sulfur dioxide is used to soak corn grains first. To remove the endosperm and germ, the mixture is next coarsely crushed. After that, the starch and gluten are separated from the maize fiber by grinding and screening the endosperm. Ultimately, centrifuging the starch and gluten separates them into their constituent parts.
