MAIZE PROCESSING (Maize Starch, Liquid Glucose, Gluten, Dextrose)

 

 

Global demand

The viability of a maize processing plant depends upon the availability and uninterrupted supply of raw material to the unit. On an average, a unit with a crushing capacity of 100 MT/ day will require about 30000 MT of maize per year (assuming 300 days of operation of the plant). Hence, the availability of raw material is one of the important considerations in deciding the location of maize processing unit. Maize is the most widely grown cropin the Americas with 332 million metric tonsgrown annually in the United States alone. Approximately 40% of the crop   130 million tons   is used for corn ethanol, transgenic maize(Genetically Modified Corn) made up 85% of the maize planted in the United States in 2009. While natural maize varieties grow to 12 meters (39 ft) tall, most commercially grown maize has been bred for a standardized height of 2.5 meters (8.2 ft). Sweet corn is usually shorter than field corn varieties. The starch is the main product of a maize processing unit, which is consumed in various other industries like food, pharmaceuticals, textiles, paper, hotels and restaurants, etc. The Starch industry in India is thus poised to rapid strides once again keeping behind the impacts of the global recession during recent years. The target of indigenous production of over 6 million MT will require the Indian Starch industry to increase their production during the next ten years. To meet the growing demand, per hectare yield of maize is estimated to rise to 2.36 MT as against 1.7 MT currently by the end of 2020.
