  • METHODS FOR ENHANCING BY PRODUCTS FROM FERMENTATION PROCESSES
    Publication number: 20180216139
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for enhancing yield and/or quality of by-products from fermentation processes used for producing fermentation products. The invention includes a process of fermenting starch-containing material into a fermentation product comprising a fermentation step wherein one or more enzymes are added before or during the fermentation step. More specifically, the present invention provides methods for increasing oil recovery yield from processes for producing fermentation products and further enhancing the quality of DDGS by removing fat content from DDGS that are produced as by-products in processes for producing fermentation products.
