  • Method of producing fermentation-based products from corn
    Patent number: 7083954
    Abstract: Corn oil and corn meal obtained from corn are included in useful products. A method for producing fermentation-based products comprises combining corn meal with water and an enzyme, and mixing the combination with a micro-organism capable of fermenting a carbon source to produce a fermentation-based product. The corn meal is produced by cracking whole corn, conditioning the whole corn and extracting the whole corn to produce corn meal without flaking the corn during processing. The corn grain process generally includes the steps of cracking corn grain having a total oil content of from about 3% by weight to about 30% by weight and extracting a corn oil from the cracked corn grain.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for producing fermentation-based products from high oil corn
    Patent number: 6703227
    Abstract: Corn oil and corn meal obtained from high oil corn are included in useful products. A method of producing fermentation-based products comprising combining corn meal remaining after the extraction of oil from whole high oil corn with water and an enzyme. This combination is incubated and then mixed with a micro-organism capable of fermenting a carbon source to produce fermentation-based products such as ethanol.
