Abstract
Novel wheat milling derivative products obtained from one or more non-food wheat milling products are described, as well as methods for making the same. The wheat milling derivative products enable up to 15% by weight of cellulosic fibers in paper or in paper packaging to be displaced, diminishing the negative environmental impacts heretofore associated with the making of these paper and paper packaging products and thus improving the sustainability of these paper and paper packaging products, and derive from non-food wheat milling products already realized in conventional wheat milling.
Claims12
A wheat milling derivative product useful for displacing cellulosic fibers in paper or paper packaging, comprising from 15 to 30 weight percent starch, from 30 to 40 weight percent fiber;
- and from 15 to 20 weight percent protein from wheat and characterized by a mean particle size in the range of from 10 microns to 2200 microns in diameter.
A process of making a wheat milling derivative product useful for displacing cellulosic fibers, comprising:
- obtaining a wheat milling product comprising from 15 to 30 weight percent starch, from 30 to 40 weight percent fiber;
- and from 15 to 20 weight percent protein;
- and
- subjecting the wheat milling product to mechanical processing
- to provide a wheat milling derivative product characterized by a mean particle size in the range of from 10 microns to 2200 microns in diameter.
