Pulverulent corn-steep

Abstract

The invention relates to a pulverulent corn-steep without a drying substrate, said corn-steep containing lactic acid. It also relates to a method of obtaining this pulverulent corn-steep as well as to its use in the fermentation industry.

25 . A pulverulent corn-steep containing no drying substrate, said corn-steep containing lactic acid and having a lactic acid content greater than or equal to 10% by weight of dry matter.  
     
     
         26 . The pulverulent corn-steep according to claim  25 , having a metal ions content of between 1 and 10% by weight (dry/dry).  
     
     
         27 . The pulverulent corn-steep according to claim  26 , wherein the metal ions content is between 2 and 5% by weight (dry/dry).  
     
     
         28 . The pulverulent corn-steep according to claim  25 , wherein the metal ions are selected from the group consisting of zinc, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, lithium salts, on their own or mixed with one another.  
     
     
         29 . The pulverulent corn-steep according to claim  28 , wherein the metal ions are magnesium salts.  
     
     
         33 . A tablet comprising a pulverulent corn-steep according to claim  25 .  
     
     
         34 . The pulverulent corn-steep according to claim  25 , wherein said corn-steep is used as a nutrient substance in the fermentation industry.  
     
     
         35 . The tablet according to  claim 33 , wherein said tablet is used as a nutrient substance in the fermentation industry.
