An electromechanical nixtamalization system comprises a vertical cylindrical reactor formed by an inside container with an insulating layer, an end in the shape of a truncated cone, in which the material inlet and outlet reactor cover is provided. A reactor resistor is arranged inside the reactor and can be removed from the reactor through a resistor cover to which it is attached by one of the ends thereof, the cover being accessible from the outside through the wider end of the reactor, which is exactly opposite to the end in the shape of a truncated cone in which the material inlet and outlet is located. The reactor rotates in an oscillating manner about a horizontal rotation shaft attached to a base or structure along with bearings. A compressor introduces pressure through a pressure inlet valve located inside the reactor and a water tank located above the reactor is in communication with a lime container and in turn feeds the reactor through a valve. The gasses generated inside the reactor are used to heat the water reservoir. |

The present invention provides a grain fortification system. The said system comprises a plurality of fortification tanks each containing at least one fortifying solution. The system further includes a homogenizer connected to the plurality of fortification tanks, wherein the homogenizer is adapted to receive at least one fortifying solution from the said plurality of fortification tanks to produce a homogenized fortification solution. The system further includes a fortification reactor connected to the said homogenizer. The said fortification reactor is adapted to receive the said homogenized fortification solution from the homogenizer, is adapted to receive the raw food grains, and react the said homogenized fortification solution with the said raw food grains to produce fortified grains by degassing the raw food grains at a preset degassing condition and adsorbing the said homogenized fortification solution on the degassed raw food grains in predefined controlled ambient adsorption conditions to produce fortified grains. The system further includes a fortification solution collection tank connected to the said fortification reactor at one end and to the said homogenizer at another end, wherein the said fortification solution collection tank is adapted to collect, store and recirculate a leftover fortification solution from the said fortification reactor to the said homogenizer. Also, disclosed is a process for grain fortification. |

A water saving and energy saving process the continuous production of whole grain flour and whole gluten-free flour is provided. The process includes preconditioning whole-grain or seed with water and uses an energy efficient blanching treatment with saturated steam. The process also provides flour having a bimodal size mixture of material having improved viscosity. The whole grain and whole gluten-free flour can be used to prepare grain products and baked foods. |

An electromechanical nixtamalization system consisting of a rotary reactor, which turns on a horizontal axis and has a single-piece inner steel container without internal blades. It has resistors, a ceramic fiber layer, and a detachable stainless steel plate, and is fed by the maize grains introduced into an upper receiving hopper, and a cooling vat with a lid; and an interior and intermediate surface, as well as a cooling chamber located between the interior and intermediate walls, coated in a high-pressure polyurethane lining. |

WHEAT WORKSHOP TECHNIQUE OF WHEAT FLOUR MILLING FOR PEELING OFF PERICARP ONLY AND COMPLETE SET OF EQUIPMENT THEREFOR |

The present disclosure discloses a cleaning process of wheat flour milling for peeling off the pericarp only, and a set of equipment for implementing the process. The method comprises four stages, namely, cleaning of raw wheat, pericarp peeling-off, cleaning of glossy wheat, and conditioning stage, wherein the peeling-off stage comprises a dampening step and a stirring step. The process only debrans most of the pericarp, without damaging the seed coat. Thus, this greatly reduces the probability of the seed coat being grinded into gluten powder and mixed into wheat flour, thereby reducing the ash content in the wheat flour. The set of equipment obviates a washer, thus conserving water resource and preventing water pollution. |

Cereal grain is pretreated before milling, by selectively removing a first fraction of husk components of the cereal, wherein the first fraction includes the outer husk components of the dampened cereal, and wherein 0.2 to 2% by weight of the cereal is removed, then dampening and conditioning the cereal, then selectively removing a second fraction of husk components of the cereal, wherein the second fraction substantially contains dietary fibers of the dampened cereal. The method makes it possible to efficiently obtain contamination-free total dietary fibers. An apparatus for carrying out the method, and advantageous uses of the total dietary fibers are also described. |

The invention relates to an apparatus for wetting grain with a liquid using a vibrating device for the grain, having a vertically or obliquely or horizontally arranged tube, and to at least one motor, which causes the tube to vibrate and has a motor baseplate for the connection of a vibratory apparatus, in the case of which the tube is connected in a force-fitting manner to the motor baseplate, the tube having a maximum length corresponding to double the length of the motor baseplate. The invention also relates to a method for wetting grain. |

A grain containing starch, such as corn, is refined. The grain is steeped in water at a temperature of about 125 to 160° F., which water is essentially free of sulfurous acid and contains recycled enzymes from downstream processes, in a counter-current steeping reactor for about 10 to 20 hours to produce an aqueous slurry of steeped grain having a moisture content of about 40 to 50 percent. The various components of the grain are then separated and the starch is converted to ethanol. |
