Corn glutenİmeal
English DZ
Byproduct of the manufacture of starch from maize grain (Zea mays L.) by wet milling. It consists
principally of gluten obtained during the separation of starch. Corn gluten meal is a protein-rich feed
(about 60%) and is a different product from corn gluten feed (about 20% protein). Other names: maize
gluten meal, corn gluten, maize gluten.
