Abstract: A process for treating cereal grains and particularly oats, to separate the endosperm from the remainder of the kernel without dry milling. The grains are soaked in an aqueous medium having a pH of 3.0 - 7.0 at a temperature in the range 40-70 °C for sufficient time to absorb at least an equal weight of the liquid medium. The condidions are such that the endosperm portion of the grain liquefies, as opposed to softens. The grain may be crushed in a variety of ways to split the husk and release the liquid endosperm contents which are then dispersed in water. The endosperm solids can be recovered from dispersion, following a screening step to separate the husks by drying to yield a substantially white, lower fiber whole endosperm flour product. Alternatively, the dispersion may be sedimented and/ or centrifuged to produce a wet solids fraction and a soluble fraction, each-of which can be subsequently recovered in dry form.
