Methods for producing a purified wheat embryo product are disclosed. In one embodiment, producing a purified wheat embryo product includes the steps of: accelerating a plurality of wheat berries toward an impact surface, impacting each of the plurality of wheat berries against the impact surface, dislodging at least some of the wheat embryos from the wheat berries in response to the impacting step such that the dislodged embryos are intact, and separating the dislodged wheat embryos from the bran and the endosperm to produce an intermediate purified wheat embryo product.

A method and an apparatus for controlling a milling roll machine capable of accurately monitoring a surface temperature of a roll and preventing a high temperature abnormality occurring on a roll surface from being overlooked are provided A temperature sensor S that monitors surface temperatures of a pair of rolls 4 and 5 and a temperature of a milled product after passing through the rolls is provided in the vicinity of the pair of rolls 4 and 5, and opening/closing control of the gap between the rolls 4 and 5 or flow rate control of the raw material stock is performed according to the surface temperatures of the rolls and the temperature of the milled product after passing through the rolls detected by the temperature sensor S.

A rotor (1) for a grinding machine (2) for the foodstuffs and feedstock industry, having an external diameter of between 0.5 and 0.6 m, comprising a plurality of substantially cylindrical, in particular hollow cylindrical, grinding elements (3). One such grinding element (3) has an outer grinding surface (4) substantially in the form of a circular cylinder jacket, and the grinding elements (3) are arranged coaxially above one another and in such a way that a substantially annular air gap (5) is produced between the grinding surfaces (4) of two adjacent grinding elements (3). A ratio between an enveloping surface (H) of the rotor (1) and a total grinding surface of the rotor (1) is greater than 1.05 and less than 1.25.

A method for producing powdered quinoa. The method includes dehulling quinoa in a dehuller in some embodiments. The quinoa is dried in a dryer in some embodiments. The quinoa is soaked in a soaker and freeze dried in a freeze dryer. In certain embodiments, the quinoa is extruded on an extruder. In one embodiment, the quinoa is ground in a grinder.

The present invention Production process of nixtamalized maize flour, nixtamalizing the maize fractions separately without producing nejayote, considers the integration of the processes: Semi-humid milling of the maize (fractionated degerm), extruding of the maize endosperm and milling-instant dehydration of the different nixtamalized and extruded maize fractions, has as novelty the way in which the nixtamalization process is carried out and the objective is to provide a nixtamalized maize flour production system that reduces the residues from the maize grain and completely eliminating nejayote production.

A method and system for removing foreign grains from oat grains to establish gluten-free oats, i.e., oat grains having gluten levels below 20 ppm and, more preferably, below 10 ppm, relies upon performing various mechanical differentiation operations on a combination of grains, including oats and foreign, or gluten containing, grains. The mechanical differentiation operations can be arranged in series or in a combination of series and parallel operations. The various operations preferably include width grading and multiple length grading steps, as well as an aspirating steps, as well as a potential debearding step. The resulting oats can be used to make a wide range of gluten-free oat food products, including cereal and granola products.
