Effects Of Varying Cds, Drying And Cooling Temperatures On Glass Transition Temperature Of Ddgs, Rumela Bhadra, Kurt A. Rosentrater, Kasiviswanathan Muthukumarappan

Distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), a co product of the corn-based fuel ethanol industry, is used widely as an animal feed. Due to increased demand for DDGS in livestock markets it has become essential to transport DDGS over long distances. Flowability problems in DDGS, due to particle caking, often create nuisance in storage and transportation. Materials above the glass transition temperature (Tg) can exist in a “rubbery state,” this condition can often be responsible for structural collapse, particle agglomeration, and caking of materials. This study investigated the effects of varying CDS (10, 15, and 20%, wb), drying (100, 200, …
