Corn Dry-Milling: A Comparative Evaluation of Commercial Degerminator Samples.

O. L. Brekke and L. A. Weinecke. Copyright 1964 by the American Association of Cereal Chemists, Inc. 

Samples of degerminator product streams from four processors using cone mills, granulators, or disk mills as degerminators were fractionated in the laboratory to give data on yields and oil content of grits of several sizes, fines, germ, and hull. Disregarding variations resulting from differences in the corn processed and the tempering conditions used, the cone mill gave the best degermination, but the disk mill produced the most recoverable oil, and the granulator, an intermediate amount of oil. From the data presented, which should be useful to those working for improved degermination, the possibility of a shorter milling flow is suggested.
