Global Corn Wet-Milling Market: Overview
A process of refining corns is known as corn wet-milling. Shelled corns can be processed by two types, namely, dry mills or wet mills. By using corn wet-milling process, corns can be separated into four components such as germ, starch, gluten, and fiber. Corn wet-milling process comprises various production stages such as milling & germ separation, cleaning, fine grinding & screening, steeping, and separating starch & gluten. Next step is followed by conversion of starch to syrup and then fermented by dextrose that provides products such as polylactic acid, ethanol, and amino acids, which are used in the biodegradable products. Corns are indecently milled by using milling process to remove germs from components that contain at least 85% of corn’s oil. Corn wet-milling also produces several feed products such as corn germ meal, wet corn gluten feed, and corn gluten meal. However, primary products of the wet-milling process include edible oil and starch.
Global Corn Wet-Milling Market: Growth Factors
Increasing demand for corn wet-milling for its rising advantages fosters the global corn wet-milling market growth. Growth in the multi-functionality of corn drives the global market growth. Dent corn is highly used in foods & beverages for manufacturing high fructose corn syrup; this positively impacts the global market growth. Gluten meal is largely used in the animal feed and is expected to influence the global corn wet-milling market growth. Wet-milling products are rich in amino acids protein, digestible fiber, methionine, cysteine, and high level of energy. Conversely, strict government regulatory implemented over increasing quality standards and health & safety restrain the global market to some extent.
