Title: Innovations in Grain Processing by Jeffrey A Gwirtz
Introduction
Jeffrey A Gwirtz is an accomplished inventor based in Manhattan, KS (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of grain processing, focusing on methods that enhance the quality and usability of grains. His innovative approach has led to the development of a patented technology that addresses common challenges in grain processing.
Latest Patents
Jeffrey holds a patent for "Processing of grains and the like - Methods for processing of grains and the like and products produced by such processing." This invention involves subjecting whole grains or portions of grains to rapid pressure and directional changes in a high-velocity fluid stream. This method instantaneously varies the forces acting on the grains, resulting in flours with reduced particle sizes and low starch value damage. The processing technique also allows for uniform blending of additives during the comminution of grains. The processed grains are resistant to spoilage and clumping, and the invention enables the production of both whole grain flours and white flours, as well as the separation of bran, germ, and endosperm.
