  • Recovery of aleurone cells from wheat bran
    Patent number: 4746073
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for physical separation of aleurone cell particles and pericarp-testa particles from commercial wheat bran, the method comprises removing from a fraction of aleurone cell particles and pericarp-testa articles within the sieve mesh range of larger than about 130 .mu.m and smaller than about 290 .mu.m, obtained from commerical wheat bran by subjecting the bran to hammer-milling whereby the bran is broken and reduced into particles which consist predominantly of pericarp-testa particles and aleurone cell particles and then sized to the sieve mesh range, a fraction of particles which are smaller than about 40 .mu.m and electrostatically charging the remaining aleurone cell particles and pericarp-testa particles.
