Claims
- 1. A composition of matter comprising seed coat, nucellar and aleurone layers of bran coat removed from wheat kernels, the composition having an amount of protein between 18 and 30% by weight on a dry basis and an amount of starch greater than 10% by weight.
- 2. The composition of claim 1 containing approximately 20% to 25% protein.
- 3. The composition of claim 2 containing approximately 6.1% to 8.2% oil.
- 4. The composition of claim 3 containing approximately 7.1%-8.1% ash.
- 5. A composition of matter consisting essentially of seed coat, nucellar and aleurone layers of bran coat removed from wheat kernels, the composition having an amount of protein between 18 and 30% by weight on a dry basis and an amount of starch greater than 10% by weight.
- 6. The composition of claim 5 containing approximately 20% to 25% protein.
- 7. The composition of claim 5 containing approximately 6.1% to 8.2% oil.
- 8. The composition of claim 5 containing approximately 7.1% to 8.1% ash.
- 9. A composition of matter extracted from wheat kernels which are comprised of endosperm encased in a bran coat, the bran coat including an aleurone cell layer covered by a nucellar cell layer covered by a seed coat layer covered by a tube cell layer covered by a cross cell layer covered by a hypodermis layer covered by an epidermis layer; the extracted composition consisting essentially of the seed coat, nucellar and aleurone layers of the bran coat.
