Abstract
Unnecessary loss of valuable fiber and unnecessary consumption of energy, as well as undue gelatinization of starch contained in the endosperm are avoided by subjecting the whole corn kernels to a selective nixtamalization process which comprises separating the hull from the kernels for forming a hull fraction and an endosperm-germ fraction, subjecting only the hull fraction to nixtamalization such as by heating in an alkaline solution and then mixing the nixtamalized hull fraction with the untreated endosperm-germ fraction. This mixture is suitable for producing a good quality corn flour suitable for producing tortillas having excellent rheological properties.
