www3.epa.govThe overall corn wet milling process consists of numerous steps or stages, as shown schematically in Figure 9.9.7-2. Shelled corn is delivered to the wet milling plant primarily by rail and truck and is unloaded into a receiving pit. The corn is then elevated to temporary storage bins and scale hoppers for weighing and sampling.
Starch Based Bio-Plastics: The Future of Sustainable Packaging
file.scirp.orgthe plants. Most of the starch produced worldwide is derived from corn [25]. Starch is generally extracted from plant resource by wet milling processes. Starch consists of two types of anhydroglucose polymers amylose and amylopec-tin. Amylose is essentially a linear polymer in which anhydroglucose units are

academicjournals.orgHFCS is produced from corn. The corn grain undergoes several unit processes starting with steeping to soften the hard corn kernel followed by wet milling and physical separation into corn starch (from the endosperm); corn hull (bran) and protein and oil (from the germ).
