This invention discloses a novel
processing flow for
threshing sweet corn cobs, including: peeling, sorting,
steaming, cooling,
threshing, tumble washing and flotation, sterilization, cold
water washing, draining, quick-freezing,
air separation purification, color sorting, and bagging. This invention involves
steaming the entire sweet corn cob before
threshing, preventing the production of splashing corn
slurry during the threshing process and solidifying the loss of various elements from the kernels. Even after the threshed kernels undergo cold water tumble washing and flotation, high-intensity sterilization, and cold
water rinsing, the internal substances in the kernels are not lost, significantly improving product quality and nutritional value. Furthermore, the threshed sweet corn cobs undergo secondary
processing, with the germ being
cut again, followed by washing, flotation, quick-freezing, or
drying for storage and sale. This fully utilizes the germ in the sweet corn cobs, creating
residual value for the enterprise.
