Abstract
Three different modified dry-grind corn processes, quick germ (QG), quick germ and quick fiber (QGQF), and enzymatic milling (E-Mill) were compared with the conventional dry-grind corn process for fermentation characteristics and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) composition. Significant effects were observed on fermentation characteristics and DDGS composition with these modified dry-grind processes. The QG, QGQF, and E-Mill processes increased ethanol concentration by 8-27% relative to the conventional dry-grind process. These process modifications reduced the fiber content of DDGS from 11 to 2% and increased the protein content of DDGS from 28 to 58%.
