Corn wet-milling is a process of breaking corn kernels into their component parts: corn oil, protein, corn starch, and fiber. It uses water and a series of steps to separate the parts to be used for various products. [1]
The objective of degermination in corn dry milling is to break down kernel to pericarp, endosperm and germ. Beall operation is used for fulfilling this goal which separates the kernels received from tempering section into tails and throughs.
Following this process, milling can commence and may take several forms: The roller mill may be a single roller mill, double roller mill or pneumatic roller mill.

Multicolored corn has some of its pigments in the aleurone layer. The aleurone layer surrounds the endosperm tissue of grass seeds and is morphologically and biochemically distinct from it. Starchy endosperm cells are large, irregularly shaped cells and contain starch grains while aleurone cells are cuboidal in shape and contain aleurone grains ...
Detailed illustration of the different parts constituting a wheat kernel. The germ of a cereal grain is the part that develops into a plant; [1] it is the seed embryo. [2] Along with bran, germ is often a by-product of the milling [3] that produces refined grain products.
