Wheat Starch Production from Scandinavian Process

This report provides the cost structure of wheat starch production from the Scandinavian or tricanter process. In this process, wheat flour is fed into a streamlet of water where a slurry mixture of wheat and water is formed. This mixture is homogenized using a high-speed in-line disintegrator. The tricanter divides the mixture into 3 parts- heavy, middle, and light phase. The heavy phase is wheat starch, which is majorly made of A-starch. It needs further refining to be used.
