Maize Processing (maize Starch, Liquid Glucose, Gluten, Dextrose) - Manufacturing Plant, Detailed Project Report, Profile, Business Plan, Industry Trends, Market Research, Survey, Manufacturing Process, Machinery, Raw Materials, Feasibility Study
PRODUCT PROFILE
The maize also called "Corn or Indian Corn" is widely cultivated in India; Maize ranks high among the four or five principal cereal crops of the world. Maize is utilized in more diversified ways than any other cereal. 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 other products include Gluten, Germ, Fiber (husk) and Corn Steep Liquor. Gluten has great demand in animal feed industry because of its high protein content (70%). Germ is expressed to extract germ oil which is low cholesterol containing edible oil. Fiber, mainly the husk, is used by animal feed manufacturers. It has demand in wet form itself for animal feed. Corn Steep Liquor is one of the substrates for culture media for manufacturing of antibiotics and other microbial production systems.
Applications
Besides food, maize and maize products have numerous industrial uses such as in adhesives, explosives and soaps, and for textile sizing, etc. Maize starch is employed in the manufacture of asbestos, ceramics, dyes, plastics, oil cloth, linoleum, paper, and paper boards, and in textiles, mining, deep oil drilling, and cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. The derivatives of maize starch include glucose or corn syrup, corn sugar, dextrin, and industrial alcohol, which is employed in different industries. The grain is used for making various alcoholic beverages. Corn oil obtained from the embryo (i.e. young plant in its earliest stages of development) is used in paints, varnishes, rubber substitutes and as a cooking medium. Maize starch is extensively used as a sizing material in the textile and paper industries. In the food industry, it is used in the preparation of pies, puddings, lad dressings and confections. The further use of the products of maize are Dextrose (used in baking, beverage and canning industries), Maize Starch Syrup (used in the food processing industry, chiefly in confectionery), Pop corn and the various by products of maize are maize oil, seen, steep water etc.
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 crop in the Americas with 332 million metric tons grown 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.
Therefore the scope for this product is very bright. An entrepreneur venturing into this project will find it very lucrative.
