Wheat Starch
Wheat starch is a complex polysaccharide polymer extracted from wheat, serving as a critical raw material in multiple industries due to its versatile properties. It is widely utilized to produce modified starches such as oxidized, cross-linked, and substituted starch, which have diverse applications in food production, paper manufacturing, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and even cosmetics. These modified starches are essential for controlling texture, stability, and viscosity in various products. Additionally, wheat starch can be hydrolyzed into glucose and maltodextrin, which are key ingredients in food and beverage production, pharmaceuticals, and the production of sweeteners, thickeners, and emulsifiers. The starch’s ability to be used in biofuels also contributes to its growing significance in energy production. As the global demand for processed foods, chemicals, biofuels, and pharmaceutical products increases, the consumption of wheat starch continues to rise steadily. Its multifunctional role in modern industries ensures its continued importance, driving innovation and sustainability across sectors.

Insights & Key Co-Product of Wheat Processing

Understanding the Wheat Starch Production Process
The wheat starch production process focuses on efficient separation techniques to extract high-purity starch. Key methods like the Tri-Canter Process and Continuous Martin Process enhance efficiency and product quality.

Gluten
The process separates gluten from wheat starch using centrifugation and filtration. The extracted gluten is dried, milled into vital wheat gluten (VWG), and used in food and industry. Advances in technology have enhanced quality, yield, and efficiency to meet global demand.
