The invention relates to a process for treating grains and starch-based products during processing in the industrial starch separation and extraction industry, wherein the process is capable of producing predominantly pharmaceutical grade starch, and is characterised in that the starch-based products are brought into contact with an electrochemically activated aqueous anolyte solution with a pH in the range of from 2.5 to 7.5, an oxidation- reduced potential (ORP) in the range from +650 mV to >= +900 mV and a free active oxidant concentration of <= 300 ppm, during steeping and beyond. |
