Usage

Description

CORN GLUTEN MEAL is a nutrient supplement that serves as the principal protein component of corn endosperm, mainly consisting of zein and glutelin. It is a byproduct of the wet milling of corn for starch, where the gluten fraction is washed to remove residual water-soluble proteins. Additionally, it is produced as a byproduct during the conversion of the starch in whole or various fractions of dry milled corn syrups. The ingredient is used in food with no limitation other than current good manufacturing practice and is also termed corn gluten meal.

Uses

Used in Food Industry:
CORN GLUTEN MEAL is used as a protein supplement for enhancing the nutritional value of various food products. Its high protein content makes it a valuable ingredient in the formulation of different food items.
Used in Animal Feed:
CORN GLUTEN MEAL is used as an animal feed ingredient due to its high protein content, providing essential nutrients for the growth and maintenance of livestock.
Used in Industrial Products:
CORN GLUTEN MEAL is used in the production of various industrial products such as corn starch, corn flour, corn oil, and syrup, as well as laundry starch and glues, owing to its versatile properties and byproduct status in the corn milling process.
Used in Agricultural Applications:
As a native of the American continents and a member of the grass family, corn (Zea mays) is an important crop with various types such as sweet corn, popcorn, and flour corn. The corn plant grows on a wide range of soils and climates, making it a valuable agricultural resource. CORN GLUTEN MEAL, being a byproduct of corn processing, contributes to the sustainability of agricultural practices by utilizing the entire corn plant and reducing waste.
