PNS/BAFS PAES 251&252:2021 - Corn Mill Flashcards
combination of corn grits other than corn grits nos. 10 to 18 (e.g. corn grits no. 20, corn grits no. 24) floured corn and bran
by-product
grits with particle size from 0.708 mm to 0.841 mm which passed through US Sieve No. 20 but are retained in US Sieve No. 25
corn grits no. 20
grits with particle size of 0.707 mm and smaller which passed through US Sieve No. 25
corn grits no. 24
fine powder by-product of corn milling process
floured corn
fines
embryo of the kernel removed during the degermination process
germ
outer covering of the corn kernel removed during the milling process
pericarp
hull
attachment of the kernel to the cob; the entryway of nutrients, water, etc. to the kernel
tip cap
attachment of the kernel to the cob; the entryway of nutrients, water, etc. to the kernel
tip cap
combination of germ, tip cap, pericarp, and corn grits
bran
whole grain of shelled corn
corn kernel
milled corn grains where the outer covering (pericarp), germ (embryo), and tip cap have been removed leaving only the endosperm that passed through different sieve sizes
corn grits
machine that removes the pericarp, crushes the kernel, polishes the grits, and sorts the grits into different sizes
corn mill
used to remove the germ, tip cap, and pericarp from the corn kernel
degermer
ratio of the weight of degermed corn kernels to the initial weight of the degermer output sample, expressed in percent (%
degermer efficiency
process of separating germ, pericarp, and tip cap from the endosperm and reducing it into grits without soaking the corn kernels before milling
dry milling
