Prime mill starch

Wet-milling is aimed towards the production of refined starches. It is mainly practiced to obtain maize starch, although wheat and rice starches are also processed. The aim of wet milling is to obtain prime starch for the further production of modified starches or sweeteners. The wheat wet-milling industry also obtains vital gluten that is used as an important additive in the production of bakery products and other foods including processed meats. 

Corn wet-milling Industrial process in which yellow dent corns are steeped in a solution containing sulfur dioxide and naturally occurring Lactobacillus and then wet-milled in order to release the starch granules and protein or gluten, which are separated due to their differences in density. The process yields prime starch, gluten, germ, pericarp, and solids of the steep liquor.
