Abstract

See full text

A processed corn kernel product is obtained from an extraction process in which:

    an initial unprocessed whole corn kernel is mixed with water at solids levels of between 10% to 50% kernel/water to form a mixture;the mixture is maintained at a temperature of between 50° C. and 85° C. for at least 30 minutes to form a liquid extract and corn kernels desirably having a moisture content greater than 15% by weight of corn kernel solids;the corn kernels are physically separated from a liquid extract;and the corn kernels are dried until a kernel moisture level of <15% is obtained, produced a processed corn kernel product that retains at least 95% of the weight of the unprocessed corn kernels at the same moisture content (i.e., 15%).
