Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide that is used as a food additive. It is produced from starch by partial hydrolysis and is usually found as a white hygroscopicspraydried powder.[1]Maltodextrin is easily digestible, being absorbed as rapidly as glucose, and might be either moderately sweet or almost flavorless. It is commonly used for the production of sodas and candy. It can also be found as an ingredient in a variety of other processed foods. Industry & Its Applications: Food industry : Feed supplements, bulking agent, ice creams , Salads, Beer brewing. Medical /nutrition : Chewable tablets. Pharma : Sugar free cubes.

Corn is one of the main sources of commercially produced starch which is the most important source of carbohydrates in the human diet. Chemically, starch is a carbohydrate. It is a polymer comprising of a range of molecular sizes. The basic mononumeric unit is Danhydroglucose. The two basic types of polymers present are Amylose and amylopectins. Amylose is a linear polymer in which essentially all of the Anhydroglucose units are linked through 1, 4-a glucosidic bonds. Amylopectins have a highly branched structure. They are larger polymers than Amylose. Starch is essentially a group of carbohydrates known as Polysaccharides i.e. multiple molecules of sugar. It is a mixture of two polysaccharides, Amylose (10-20%) and Amylopectin (80-90%). Maize starch®, in its native and modified form is used extensively in the food, pharmaceutical, textile, paper, adhesive and a host of other industries. Starch is also modified to suit the individual user requirements and hence known as chemical starches. Maize starch can also be converted into a range of starch derivatives such as Liquid Glucose,Dextrose Monohydrate,Dextrose Anhydrous, Maltodextrin, Sorbitol etc. Industry & Its Applications: Food Industry : Biscuit, Hotels , Bakery -Maize starch is used for food industry. Textile : Used as a binder for all cotton related textiles – Modified starch is used for textile industry & paper industry. Paper Industry : Binding agent ( Depending on fibers , we use 2 to3 modified starches).

Maize gluten is a high protein substance. It is one of the byproducts of corn wet milling processIt is a rich source of proteins used for Cattle. Corn gluten meal (often simply called CGM) is a byproduct of corn (maize) processing that has historically been used as an animal feed. It can also be used as an organic herbicide. Industry & Its Applications: Poultry & cattle feed : Corn Gluten feed and steep water is widely used for cattle and other ruminants. Because of complex digestive system cattle can thrive on feeds relatively rich in fiber content and are less demanding of the quality of protein feed. Aqua culture industry : feed for fish.

Maize fiber is yellow to light brown colored fiber and free from harmful constituents and rancidity. Industry & Its Applications: Poultry : Used as feed. Cattle: Used as feed.

Corn syrupis a food syrup, which is made from the starch of maize and contains varying amounts of maltose and higher oligosaccharides, depending on the grade. Corn syrup is used in foods to soften texture, add volume, prevent crystallization of sugar, and enhance flavor. Technically, glucose syrup is any liquid starch hydrolysate of mono-, di-, and higher-saccharides and can be made from any source of starch. Industry & Its Applications: Food Industry : manufacturing hard boil, toffees ,caramels, gelatin gums. Pharma (SFG) : cough syrups, antacid suspensions & other mixture. Leather Industry : Adds softness and weight gain to leather in tanning process. Tobacco : Curing of tobacco leaves. Building & constructions : Used as in binder.

This is valuable by-product being rich in oil. It has a pleasant nutty taste when fresh but can quickly become rancid if not treated within a short time after milling. Its main value is in the oil which can be extracted or it can be used as animal feed without oil extraction. For economical oil extraction the germ should have maximum moisture content of 2-3% avoid formation of free fatty acids during storage. Whole germ with undamaged cells is less susceptible to formation of free fatty acid. A minimum fat content of 14% is also required. Germ should be dried to a maximum of 4%-5% moisture for lengthy storage. It is important that germ is cooled following drying and prior to binning. The oil yield drops with extended storage prior to the expellers. Industry & Its Applications: Poultry Feed Cattle Feed Cooking Oil Pet Food Bio Diesel Insecticides Printing Ink
