(3) In French the name “issues” may be used. | |||
(4) In French “Pressage” may be replaced by “Extraction mécanique” where appropriate. | |||

| 1 | Concentrationf1 | Increase in certain contents by removing water or other constituents | Concentrate |
| 2 | Decorticationf2 | Complete or partial removal of outer layers from grains, seeds, fruits, nuts and others | Decorticated, partially decorticated |
| 3 | Drying | Dehydration by artificial or natural processes | Dried (sun or artificially) |
| 4 | Extraction | Removal either by organic solvent of fat or oil from certain materials or by aqueous solvent of sugar or other water-soluble components. In the case of the use of organic solvent, the resulting product must be technically free of such solvent | Extracted (in the case of oil-containing materials), molasses, pulp (in the case of products containing sugar or other water-soluble components) |
| 5 | Extrusion | Pressing of material through an orifice under pressure. (See also pregelatinisation) | Extruded |
| 6 | Flaking | Rolling of moist heat-treated material | Flakes |
| 7 | Flour milling | Physical processing of grain to reduce particle size and facilitate separation into constituent fractions (principally flour, bran and middlings) | Flour, bran, middlingsf3, feed |
| 8 | Heating | General term covering a number of heat treatments carried out under specific conditions to influence the nutritional value or the structure of the material | Toasted, cooked, heat treated |
| 9 | Hydrogenation | Transformation of unsaturated glycerides into saturated glycerides (of oils and fats) | Hardened, partially hardened |
| 10 | Hydrolysis | Breakdown into simpler chemical constituents by appropriate treatment with water and possibly either enzymes or acid/alkali | Hydrolysed |
| 11 | Pressingf4 | Removal by mechanical extraction (by a screw or other type of press), with or without a slight heating, of fat/oil from oil-rich materials or of juice from fruits or other vegetable products | Expellerf5 (in case of oil-containing materials) Pulp, pomace (in case of fruits, etc.) Pressed pulp (in case of sugar-beet) |
| 12 | Pelleting | Special shaping by compression through a die | Pellet, pelleted |
| 13 | Pregelatinisation | Modification of starch to improve markedly its swelling properties in cold water | Pregelatinisedf6, puffed |
| 14 | Refining | Complete or partial removal of impurities in sugars, oils, fats and other natural materials by chemical/physical treatment | Refined, partially refined |
| 15 | Wet-milling | Mechanical separation of the component parts of kernel/grain, sometimes after steeping in water, with or without sulphur dioxide, for the extraction of starch | Germ, gluten, starch |
| 16 | Crushing | Mechanical processing of grain or other feed materials to reduce their size | Crushed, crushing |
| 17 | Desugaring | Complete or partial removal of mono- and disaccharides from molasses and other material containing sugar by chemical or physical means | Desugared, partially desugared |
