c. Wet-and-dry-milling process
d. None of the above
Dry-milling process
The process of milling corn kernels by
soaking them first in chemicals before
subjecting them to a size-reduction
equipment and other successive
processes.
a. Dry-milling process
b. Wet-milling process
c. Wet-and-dry-milling process
d. None of the above
Wet-milling process
The process of rewetting dried corn
kernels to about 18 to 22% moisture
content and tempering them to make the
pericarp and the germ become more
pliable and easier to remove during
degermination process.
a. Wet milling
b. Degermination process
c. Conditioning
d. None of the above
Conditioning
The machine used to remove germs
and pericarp from the corn kernel.
a. Conditioner
b. De-germinator
c. Corn mill
d. None of the above
De-germinator
A kind of shelled corn kernels in which
the germ and pericarp have been
removed.
a. Milled corn kernel
b. Degerminated corn kernel
c. Polished corn kernel
d. None of the above
Degerminated corn kernel
The major product(s) produced during
corn wet-milling process.

The product of corn wet-milling
process that consists of 20% protein, 2%
fat and 9.5% fiber and contains amino
acid balance that makes it valuable in

e. All of the above
Corn Germ Meal
The process of softening and
conditioning corn kernels for subsequent
milling and for preventing germination
and fermentation.
a. Cleaning

during steeping process.
a. Sulphur dioxide (SO2)
b. Sodium chloride (NaCl)
c. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
d. None of the above
Sulphur dioxide (SO2)
The major component of a corn mill
that reduces corn kernels into grits.
