Abstract
A process for the separation of substantially gum-free flour from oats is disclosed. The process comprises admixing comminuted oats with a solvent for oil in the oats and separating substantially gum-free flour from the admixture. In an embodiment the admixture of oats and solvent is separated into two fractions, one being substantially gum-free flour and the other being a bran fraction. Oat oil is recoverable from the solvent. Examples of suitable solvents are pentane, hexane, heptane, cyclohexane and alcohol of 1-4 carbon atoms. The products have a variety of uses in the food industry.
