Abstract

Extreme artificial drying of corn is detrimental to its wet milling by reducing yields of oil and starch, raising protein content of the starch, and changing paste viscosity characteristics of the starch. Picker-sheller damage during harvest can also affect the recovery of prime milling products. There appears to be no correlation between test wt. and the recovery of oil or starch.
