A process for producing a high total dietary corn fiber. Undried corn fiber obtained from the corn wet-milling process is separated by means of a sifter to give a coarse fiber fraction of enhanced total dietary fiber content. The coarse fiber fraction is then passed through a roller mill to give a product of even higher total dietary fiber content.

Process for producing a high total dietary corn fiber

A process for the production of starch and gluten from wheat flour or similar flour. The flour is extracted with water so as to produce a starch fraction and a gluten fraction. A `B` starch is then separated from either the starch fraction or the gluten fraction and contacted with an aqueous alkali at a pH between 8.5 and 12.5 to give a starch suitable for conversion to starch hydrolyzates by enzymatic hydrolysis.

Starch separation process

An improved process is provided for conversion of crude starch-containing materials such as broken-polished rice and corn grits to starch hydrolyzates and high fructose syrups. The process employs short steeping and milling steps before enzymatic liquefaction and saccharification of the starch. The process causes a minimum solubilization of protein giving readily purified products.
