ABSTRACT:
Unnecessary loss of valuable fiber and unnecessary consumption of energy, as well as undue gelatinization of starch contained in the endosperm are avoided by subjecting the whole corn kernels to a selective nixtamalization process which comprises separating the hull from the kernels for forming a hull fraction and an endosperm-germ fraction, subjecting only the hull fraction to nixtamalization such as by heating in an alkaline solution and then mixing the nixtamalized hull fraction with the untreated endosperm-germ fraction.
This mixture is suitable for producing a good quality corn flour suitable for producing tortillas having excellent rheological properties.
