The present invention relates to a method for the production of an aqueous glucose solution from corn and/or corn grain. The invention also relates to a glucose solution obtained by this method, and the use thereof for the production of organic compounds. The method according to the invention comprises: a) the fractionating dry milling of corn grains, wherein the corn grains are separated into an endosperm fraction containing corn starch and an oil-rich germ fraction, and optionally a bran fraction; b) enzymatic liquification and saccharification of the corn starch in an aqueous suspension of the endosperm fraction, wherein an aqueous glucose solution containing corn gluten is obtained; and c) concentration of the corn gluten and optionally, bran, from the aqueous glucose solution. |
