Corn grain is a complex natural raw material that includes starch, protein, fat, fiber and mineral components. Deep processing technology allows you to separate these components and turn them into products for the food industry, animal husbandry and various production tasks.
Starch as a base product
The main part of corn grain is starch. After isolation, cleaning and drying, native corn starch is obtained. Food starch is used in product formulations where viscosity, structure or stability need to be adjusted. Technical starch can be used in non-food production processes.
Starch also serves as a raw material for the further production of molasses and syrups.
Molasses and specialized syrups
Syrups with different carbohydrate composition are produced from starch by hydrolysis. The range includes caramel, low-saccharified, high-saccharified and maltose molasses, dextrose, maltodextrin and high-maltose syrups.
The differences between them are important for the technologist. Some foods help control the crystallization of sugar, while others form sweetness, color, moisture, or consistency. The selection depends on the recipe and the desired result.
Glucose-fructose syrups
A separate area is glucose-fructose syrups GFS-10, GFS-20, GFS-30 and GFS-42. They differ in the ratio of carbohydrate components and can be used in drinks, confectionery, dairy products, sauces and other categories.
The choice of a specific type should be carried out together with the technologist, since the replacement of one sweetener with another affects not only the sweetness, but also the overall recipe.
Feed components
The protein and fibrous parts of corn are becoming a valuable raw material for the feed industry. ZHPZ produces corn gluten feed, dry corn gluten meal, corn germ and extract.
Such products are used as components of mixed feeds and rations. Their actual dosage should be determined by the nutritionist, taking into account the type of animal, age and composition of the remaining ingredients.
Comprehensive use of raw materials
The main advantage of deep processing is that individual components of grain receive an independent economic value. This increases the efficiency of corn use and allows us to offer solutions to several industries at once.
A wide range of products gives the client the opportunity to select a product according to the purpose, technological parameters and delivery format within the framework of cooperation with one manufacturer.
