Corn processing machine : What are the corn processing products available?
Corn kernels can not only be used to make food, but are also very important industrial raw materials. Primary processing and deep processing can produce over 300 types of products. The primary processed products and by-products can be used as basic raw materials for further processing and utilization, and a wide variety of products can be manufactured in industrial production such as food, fermentation, medicine, chemical, textile, and papermaking. So what are the specific products of corn processing? Let's briefly introduce Lianyungang Prosperous Co., Ltd., a company that integrates the design, research, and general contracting of grain and oil processing equipment.
(1) Corn sugar production: With the development of science and technology, the sugar industry using starch as raw material is emerging, with a significant increase in variety, yield, and application range. Among them, the sugar industry using corn as raw material is particularly eye-catching. According to experts' predictions, corn sugar will account for 50% of the sweet taste market in the future, and corn will become the main raw material for sugar production.
(2) Corn starch: Corn plays an important role in starch production, and most of the world's starch is produced from corn. Some countries, such as the United States, rely entirely on corn as their raw material. In order to meet the requirements for the quantity and quality of corn starch, the processing technology of corn starch has made remarkable progress. Especially in developed countries, corn starch processing has formed an important industrial production industry.
(3) Fermentation processing of corn: Corn provides rich and economical carbohydrates for the fermentation industry. Glucose generated through enzymatic hydrolysis is a good raw material for the fermentation industry. The by-products of processing, such as corn soaking solution and powder slurry, can be used in the fermentation industry.
