A process for producing a refined protein product from a de-hulled grain is provided. The process includes the steps of milling the de-hulled grain to produce a flour; hydrolyzing non-protein biomolecules in the flour to produce a hydrolyzed flour thereby reducing intermolecular interactions between the protein and non-protein biomolecules and among the non-protein biomolecules; removing fiber from the hydrolyzed flour to provide fiber-depleted flour; and removing starch from the fiber-depleted flour to produce the refined protein and starch products. L'invention concerne un procédé de production d'un produit protéique raffiné à partir d'un grain décortiqué. Le procédé comprend le broyage du grain décortiqué pour produire une farine ; l'hydrolyse de biomolécules non protéiques dans la farine pour produire une farine hydrolysée, ce qui permet de réduire les interactions intermoléculaires entre les biomolécules protéiques et non protéiques et parmi les biomolécules non protéiques ; l'élimination de la fibre de la farine hydrolysée pour obtenir de la farine appauvrie en fibres ; et l'élimination de l'amidon de la farine appauvrie en fibres pour produire les produits protéiques raffinées et des produits à base d'amidon.
