ABSTRACT
Corn Milling Introduction Corn is one of the world’s most versatile seed crops. Botanically named Zea mays, corn is used as food and feed. Corn can be processed into various food and feed ingredients, industrial products, and alcoholic beverages. But the modern corn milling technology developed for the aforementioned products is mostly con‡ned to some of the developed countries only. However, modern corn milling technology is to be suitably adopted for producing the types of products required for other countries. At present, there are two modern methods of milling of corn: dry milling, and wet milling. Besides germ for corn oil extraction and hull and deoiled germ, etc., for feed, grits (mainly used for breakfast cereals) are the main products of corn dry milling, whereas pure starch, germ, and feed are the major products of wet milling.
