Description Dry milling process is developed, which is scalable to industrial capacity and more eco-friendly compared to wet
method for separation of germ, perisperm and bran fractions from quinoa as potential functional food ingredients. Peripheral germ is the most important functional component of grain as it stores most of the protein
and fat reserve. Fractionation of the grain is performed at different conditioning moisture (viz., 12, 14, 16, 18 &
20%). Medium conditioning moisture (14–16%) has shown optimum balance between yield and quality of the
fractions; and has been explored further to develop a novel process specifically targeted for germ separation by
making significant changes in the flow diagram of the roller milling process. This developed process enables
separation of germ with recovery of 82.57% of protein, 80.04% fat and 81.20% of minerals with respect to germ
extracted manually. Bran obtained by the developed novel process shows double the amount of dietary fibre
compared to quinoa seed; perisperm having
