A process for producing a second starch suspension having improved purity comprising:
- a. providing a first starch suspension,
- b. incorporating a component into the first starch suspension that causes impurities to float to the surface of the first starch suspension, and,
- c. removing impurities from the first starch suspension, thereby providing a second starch suspension having improved purity.
A corn starch product comprising from about 0.20 to about 0.30 weight % protein on a dry basis, about 0.001 to about 0.005 weight % fine fiber on a dry basis, and about 0.20 to about 0.30 weight % methanol extractables on a dry basis.
A process for producing a second starch paste having improved purity comprising:
- a. providing a first starch paste,
- b. incorporating a component into the first starch paste that causes impurities to float to the surface of the first starch paste, and,
- c. removing impurities from the first starch paste, thereby providing a second starch paste having improved purity.
