METHOD FOR RECOVERING STARCH FROM STARCHY PLANTS, PARTICULARLY FROM POTATO TUBERS OR CASSAVA ROOTS OR LEGUMES

摘要

Method for recovering starch (11a) from starchy plants, particularly from potato tubers or cassava roots, characterised by the following steps: opening up the starchy plants, in particular by comminution, and releasing starch; separating the comminuted plants into a first starch-rich fraction (1) and a fibre fraction (2) which is low in starch in relation thereto; high-pressure treating the low-starch fibre fraction (2) to open up the cells using high-pressure, thus releasing more starch; and separating the low-starch fibre fraction treated by high pressure into a second starch-rich fibre fraction and a second low-starch fibre fraction (figure 1).
