Abstract
A method was developed to produce pure maize starch from maize flour using a protease processing step, and additional salt washing and sulphite steeping steps. A range of commercial protease enzymes were evaluated for this purpose. The laboratory scale procedure that was developed, using one protease in particular (Promod P25P, thermolysin), produced relatively pure starch (
