How To Processing Maize Into Maize Flour And Corn Meal

Maize also known as corn, it is the cereal with the highest production worldwide and become a staple food in many parts of the world for human consumption, livestock feed and fuel with total production surpassing that of wheat or rice. Various food technologies are currently used for processing industrially produced maize flours and corn meals in different parts of the world to obtain precooked refined maize flour, dehydrated nixtamalized flour, fermented maize flours, and other maize products. These products have different intrinsic vitamin and mineral contents.

Maize milling is a method of processing maize for safe consumption. The process begins with cleaning the grain and is usually followed by conditioning the maize, then milling and sieving into flour .
The cleaning of maize flour production process is done by removing all the foreign material like sand, grit and dirt that may be present in the maize. These foreign materials and any other impurity that may be harmful to humans after consumption of the flour or can damage the machine during milling are removed. This process ensures the maize for superior flour quality.

All these foreign materials are removed by a sieving process where all course particles are removed. Different kinds of sieves are used which ensures all materials bigger or smaller than the maize itself is left behind.
After cleaning, the second step of Maize Flour Production Process is maize conditioning. This is the addition of moisture to it and allowing it to soak for some time. This allows the bran to be peeled off easily. The maize is then de-germinated and polished prior to milling. This is the separation of the germ meal, endosperm and bran.

This process results in very high quality maize meal. When the bran, endosperm and gem are ground together, the resulting maize meal is considered poor quality. This is because it has a shorter shelf life, gives the porridge a yellow appearance and gives the eater a bloated feeling.

The maize is then passed through a milling machine where it is grounded up into flour. After the milling, the last step of the Maize Flour Production Process is sieving the flour. Flour of the desired quality is retrieved and the residue is returned in the machine for further milling.
