Fractionation Techniques To Concentrate Nutrient Streams In Distillers Grains, Kurt A. Rosentrater, Deepa Subramanian, Padmanaban G. Krishnan
Fractionation Techniques To Concentrate Nutrient Streams In Distillers Grains, Kurt A. Rosentrater, Deepa Subramanian, Padmanaban G. Krishnan
Kurt A. Rosentrater
Corn, the most widely produced feed grain in the United States, accounts for more than 90% of the total value and production of feed grains. It is also used for food, industrial materials, and fuel ethanol production. Distillers grains, the major coproduct from ethanol manufacturing, are used as livestock feed. There are, however, other potential options, including value-added food, industrial, chemical, and energy applications. Fractionating distillers grains into concentrated streams of protein, fiber, and fat may be key to facilitating these types of utilization. Previous studies on other products have shown that fractionation is a promising mechanism for extracting valuable …
Update On Utilizing Ethanol Processing Residues In Food Products, Kurt A. Rosentrater, Padmanaban Krishnan
Update On Utilizing Ethanol Processing Residues In Food Products, Kurt A. Rosentrater, Padmanaban Krishnan
Kurt A. Rosentrater
The production of corn-based ethanol in the U.S. is dramatically increasing, and consequently so is the quantity of byproduct materials generated from this processing sector. These coproduct streams are currently solely utilized as livestock feed, which is a route that provides ethanol processors with a substantial revenue source and significantly increases the profitability of the production process. With the construction and operation of many new plants in recent years, these residuals do, however, have much potential for value-added processing and utilization in the human food sector as well. This option holds promise of economic benefit for corn processors, especially if …

Properties Of Corn Masa Processing Byproducts, Kurt A. Rosentrater
Kurt A. Rosentrater
The production of corn masa-based products in the U.S. has been increasing over the last several years, and as a result, so has the quantity of waste materials generated from this industry. These byproduct materials may have potential for value-added processing and utilization, which are options that hold the promise of economic benefits for masa processors and decreased potential pollution for the environment. Fundamental to any byproduct development, however, is a full characterization of the processing residue, because physical and nutritional properties are necessary for the proper design of processing operations and applications. Vital physical properties include moisture content, water …
