A grain food product washing and hydrating system includes a mass-flow designed vessel. The vessel includes an upper wash section in the form of a cylinder. The wash section receives the grain food product and mixes the same with a fluidized liquid in a turbulent flow. Excess fluid is recycled. The washed grain food product then moves towards a frustoconical-shaped hydration section, where a treated liquid hydrates the grain food product. The shape of the hydration section allows for the mass-flow movement of the grain food product, which ensures continuous flow and enough residence time to hydrate the grain food product, before metering out the same for further processing.

An enhancement to food industries and to a method of grain mass production. The method features germinating cleaned grain using shungite water as a liquid medium and grinding germinated grain to particles sized no larger than 300 μm, while the dependence of the time of grain germination on the temperature of the liquid medium is inversely proportional. A system for grain mass production featuring an isothermal chamber for grain germination adapted to maintain constant temperature in which transport containers for grain germination are installed, a container for infusing water with shungite stones equipped with means for supplying shungite water in the transport containers and at least one grain grinder which is capable of grinding germinated grain for obtaining a fine grain mass with particles not larger than 300 μm.

The present disclosure provides antibody cytokine engrafted proteins that bind to and stimulate intracellular signaling through a high affinity interleukin receptor. The antibody cytokine engrafted proteins find use in enhancing anti-inflammatory cell responses, and reducing pro-inflammatory effects in the treatment, amelioration and prevention of immune related disorders such as Type 1 Diabetes.

Cereal grain is pretreated before milling, by selectively removing a first fraction of husk components of the cereal, wherein the first fraction includes the outer husk components of the dampened cereal, and wherein 0.2 to 2% by weight of the cereal is removed, then dampening and conditioning the cereal, then selectively removing a second fraction of husk components of the cereal, wherein the second fraction substantially contains dietary fibers of the dampened cereal. The method makes it possible to efficiently obtain contamination-free total dietary fibers. An apparatus for carrying out the method, and advantageous uses of the total dietary fibers are also described.

A system and method for flaking. The system includes a stationary roller, and moveable roller, and an adjustable fixator applying tension between the stationary and moveable rollers. The fixator includes a pressure transducer and a linear indicator. The transducer and indicator allow the fixator to read pressures and make fine adjustments to the fixator to obtain a desired gap between the two rollers.
