What products can corn be processed into?

1, corn staple food In recent years, urban people are used to eating rice and white flour and want to change their taste. Corn-based staple food has been industrialized through fine processing and began to enter the family. Using modern high-tech and biotechnology to process corn can provide consumers with delicious corn staple food. In this regard, Jilin Province is in the forefront of the country. The province has developed an annual production line of 6,000 tons of instant noodles and bowl noodles and an annual production line of 6,000 tons of extra-strong corn flour, which can be used to process noodles, jiaozi, steamed bread, cakes and bread. Many domestic enterprises have also developed some corn puffed instant noodles production equipment suitable for small enterprises.

2. Modified starch for food Modified starch is used in instant noodles, sausages, lunch meat, cold drinks, fried foods, seasonings and other ingredients, which can make the products stable under cold, hot, acid and alkali conditions, obtain satisfactory taste and prolong the shelf life. In the future, the processing of seasoning and soup will be further developed. China's modified starch industry should strive to develop the application technology of modified starch in food processing and broaden the application fields of modified starch in food industry.

3. The price of corn oil is higher than that of peanut oil in the international market. At present, corn germ is generally extracted by pressing method in China, and the oil yield is low. In the future, we should consider using high technology to improve the extraction rate of corn oil and recover protein from corn germ.

4. Starch sugar uses corn to produce starch sugar, which has the advantages of perennial production and high utilization value of by-products. In addition to developing maltose and glucose with different DE values, starch sugar should also develop solid industrial sugar with convenient use and competitiveness, such as crystalline glucose and whole sugar powder with high DE value (starch is saccharified, decolored, exchanged, concentrated into syrup and further solidified into sugar powder without crystallization separation). This whole sugar is not as sweet as sucrose. The sweet food made from it and sucrose can not only ensure the quality of the product, but also reduce its production cost.

5. Seasonings include soy sauce, monosodium glutamate and various essences. Corn protein contains less lysine and methionine and is generally used as feed. The contents of umami amino acids and glutamic acid in zein are as high as 30%, which can be used as an excellent variety of soy sauce protein raw materials. 60,000 tons of corn protein powder can be obtained by processing 6,543,800 tons of corn. If these protein powders can be used to develop new seasonings, better economic benefits will be achieved.

In order to improve the economic level of corn producing areas, the state is vigorously supporting the development of corn deep processing. In food processing industry, it is of far-reaching significance to promote regional economic development, especially to solve the common problems of agriculture, rural areas and farmers.
