Native starches

Manufacturing process

The following manufacturing steps are applied to the starch granules:

  • milling: to free the starch from the cells
  • centrifugation: to remove the fibres
  • starch purification: to separate the protein and soluble material

Apart from these steps, other treatments are needed to separate specific constituents:

  • maize: separation of maize oil
  • wheat: extraction of vital wheat gluten
