  • Patent number: 4247561
    Abstract: A method of making a stable, emulsified, liquid starch product which comprises from about 45% to about 85% edible liquid, and from about 15% to about 55% of a whole, non-starch isolated, starch bearing material emulsified with said edible liquid. The method comprises size reducing the starch material, slurrying the size reduced material with edible liquid, hydrothermally cooking the slurried mixture, and holding said hydrothermally cooked mixture at the temperature at which it exits from the hydrothermal cooker for from one to four minutes in order to significantly increase gelatinization and maltose values. It has also been found when this is done, lactic acid levels are increased which significantly improves the product. Finally, it has been found that the product can be used as an effective grain and silage sealer, which is also nutritional.

  • Patent number: 4167584
    Abstract: An emulsified liquid starch product which comprises an emulsion of a starch bearing material, which has been cooked, at least partially gelatinized and enzymatically hydrolyzed, the predominant amount of the emulsified particles not exceeding an average particle diameter of 300 microns. In accordance with the process a starch, protein and cellulose material is size reduced, slurried with water, hydrothermically cooked, starch hydrolyzing enzyme is thereafter added, and mixing is continued for a period of time to prevent jelling, but not for such a long period of time that the product becomes thin and watery, and thereafter the product is treated with an enzyme deactivating agent to provide a stable emulsion. Chemical preservatives to prevent mold and spoilage and a flavoring, and coloring agents to improve palatibility and produce uniform color may then be added, and animal or vegetable fat may be added.
