A University of Illinois study finds that fractionating corn components before fermentation yields higher-quality coproducts that command higher prices. Conventional dry grind produces low-quality DDGS with high fiber and low protein, mainly used for ruminant feed.
The researchers say the approach can improve ethanol plant profitability.
Higher-value fractionated coproducts could eventually lift the value of DDGS and corn oil for feed, but the technique is not yet widespread and has no immediate price effect.
