Product Description
Corn by soaking, degerming, crushing, the yellow slurry water after extracting from starch,then through the dehydration making protein products which named corn gluten meal. Gold yellow granular,for livestock feed having resistance function,corn gluten meal is a good additive of animal husbandry and feed industry.Corn gluten meal' s protein content high,contains rich amino acids, can be used to replace the bean cake in the feed market, such as fish meal protein feed.
Corn gluten meal has a wide range of uses. **1. In the Feed Industry** - It is a high - quality protein source for livestock and poultry. For example, in poultry feed, corn gluten meal provides essential amino acids such as lysine and tryptophan that are crucial for the growth and development of chickens. It helps in building muscle mass and improving the overall health of the birds. In swine feed, it also plays an important role in promoting the growth of pigs and enhancing the quality of pork. The protein content in corn gluten meal can reach up to 60% or more, which makes it a valuable ingredient to replace more expensive protein sources like soybean meal to some extent. - It is beneficial for ruminant animals as well. For cattle and sheep, corn gluten meal can be a good source of bypass protein. Bypass protein refers to the protein that escapes degradation in the rumen and is digested in the lower digestive tract. This kind of protein is of great significance for high - producing dairy cows and growing beef cattle, as it can provide a more efficient supply of amino acids for milk production and muscle growth. **2. In the Food Industry** - Corn gluten meal can be used as a food additive. It has good emulsifying and thickening properties. In some processed foods such as sausages and canned meats, it can help to improve the texture and water - holding capacity of the products. By increasing the water - holding capacity, it can prevent the food from drying out and maintain a better taste and appearance. - It is also a potential source for the production of bioactive peptides. Through enzymatic hydrolysis and other processes, peptides with antioxidant, antihypertensive and other physiological functions can be obtained from corn gluten meal, which can be used in the development of functional foods. **3. In the Industrial Field** - Corn gluten meal can be used in the production of biodegradable plastics. With the increasing demand for environmentally friendly materials, the protein in corn gluten meal can be modified and processed to produce biodegradable polymers. These polymers have the potential to replace traditional petroleum - based plastics to a certain extent, reducing the environmental pollution caused by plastic waste. - It can also be used in the production of adhesives. The protein components in corn gluten meal have adhesive properties. Through appropriate chemical modification and processing, it can be made into adhesives suitable for wood and paper products, providing an alternative to synthetic adhesives.
