Scarification and Degermination of Sorghum for Grits Production: Effects of Hybrid and Conditioning1

摘要: ABSTRACT Three sorghum hybrids were tempered and decorticated with an abrasive-type mill (scarifier) to produce low-ash low-fat grits. The effects of tempering time temperature investigated, the optimum conditions for obtaining grits found each hybrid. 3 min at 30°C bronze heteroyellow endosperm, 40 40°C white 10 20°C red endosperm. yields low using scarifier, hence, another was investigated improving yields. A modified experimental corn decorticator-degerminator used dry-mill three scarifier. 45.3% 0.23% ash 0.18% fat bronze/heteroyellow hybrid, 49.1% 0.22% 0.36% white/white 44.2% 0.20% red/white hyb...
