摘要：
A processed corn kernel product is obtained from an extraction process in which:an initial unprocessed whole corn kernel is mixed with water at solids levels of between 10% to 50% kernel/water to form a mixture；the mixture is maintained at a temperature of between 50° C. and 85° C. for at least 30 minutes to form a liquid extract and corn kernels desirably having a moisture content greater than 15% by weight of corn kernel solids；the corn kernels are physically separated from a liquid extract；and the corn kernels are dried until a kernel moisture level of <；15% is obtained, produced a processed corn kernel product that retains at least 95% of the weight of the unprocessed corn kernels at the same moisture content (i.e., 15%).The ≦5% extracted material may include, but is not limited to, soluble starches, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, oils, fibers, flavonoids, polyphenols, antioxidants, phenolic acids, dyes/pigments, and the like.
