CA 2468277

The invention relates to improved methods of producing nixtamalized corn which can be used to reduce or eliminate residual water. There are several ways of carrying out the invention, including hydrating a corn composition for a period of at least 5 minutes or hydrating said composition for between approximately 5 minutes and 5 hours. Moreover, in certain embodiments, the corn composition comprises ground corn, water and lime in an amount of not more than approximately 0.55 wt.- % relative to the weight of the ground corn. In alternative or additional embodiments, the corn is combined with water at a temperature of at least approximately 70 ~C with a pH of between approximately 6 and approximately 7.5 pH units. Furthermore, in additional embodiments, the average particle size of the ground corn is less than approximately 3.5mm.The resulting corn mass can have between approximately 45 and approximately 55 wt.- % water content.

L'invention concerne des procédés améliorés de formation de maïs nixtamalisé permettant de réduire ou d'éliminer l'eau résiduelle. Dans certains modes de réalisation, le procédé consiste à hydrater une composition de maïs pendant au moins 5 minutes, et dans d'autres modes de réalisation, d'environ 5 minutes à 5 heures. Dans certains modes de réalisation, la composition de maïs comprend du maïs trituré, de l'eau et pas plus d'environ 0,55 pour cent en poids de chaux, par rapport au poids du maïs trituré. Dans des modes de réalisation alternatifs ou supplémentaires, le maïs est combiné à de l'eau à une température d'au moins approximativement 70 ·C avec un pH d'environ 6 à environ 7,5 unités de pH. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, le maïs trituré présente une dimension de particule inférieure à approximativement 3,5 mm de dimension moyenne. La masse de maïs obtenue peut présenter un contenu en eau d'environ 45 à environ 55 pour cent en poids.
