Abstract
A process for the separation of a comminuted oat fraction from an admixture thereof with solvent is disclosed. An admixture of the fraction and the solvent is subjected to a high voltage electric field between an anode and a cathode, thereby depositing at least part of the comminuted oat fraction on at least the anode. The solvent is either an aliphatic hydrocarbon containing from 5 to 8 carbon atoms or a normally liquid chlorofluorocarbon containing 1 or 2 carbon atoms. In a preferred embodiment the fraction is a fraction of high protein content and the deposit is only on the anode. In another embodiment the fraction is in the form of a dispersion, e.g. fines, in the solvent.
