Starch and proteins can be separated from flour suspensions. Further processing dewaters and removes fibers. The goal of protein extraction is to treat high volumes with consistent quality. The proteins are soluble, while the remaining fibers and starch are non-soluble. Depending on what is being extracted, either starch or protein is the product, and the other is a byproduct. There are many variables that can make the starch and protein extraction processes differ significantly. This eBook presents basic examples of how to accomplish starch and protein extraction from vegetables. |
