Abstract: Steam flaking is paid increasing attention for their functions such as enhancing digestibility of corn starch,improving production performance and products quality in cattle,decreasing environmental pollution and cost of feeding. Its application in ruminant diet calls for high processing mechanics and quality standards. The mechanism that steam flaking enhances digestibility of corn,technological process of steam flaking,as well as various techniques and measurements that can be used to appraise the efficacy of flaking are comprehensively reviewed in this article.

Key words: corn starch; steam flaking; processing technology; quality evaluation
