Abstract: Systems and methods for fractionating whole stillage from an ethanol production facility are provided. Whole stillage undergoes a separation of its liquid portion (thin stillage) from the solid portion (fiber cake). In some embodiments, the solids and liquids in whole stillage may be separated utilizing a screening centrifuge. The fiber cake may be dried to generate a high fiber animal feed. The thin stillage may be provided to a three-phase separator for separation into an oil emulsion, an aqueous clarified stillage, and a protein paste. The protein paste may be dried to generate a high protein animal feed with greater than about 45% protein content. The clarified thin stillage is condensed to yield a syrup with greater than around 60% solids. The oil emulsion is subjected to a pH adjustment to liberate the oil from the emulsion, which is then separated.

Abstract: Methods and systems for isolating a high purity starch stream are provided. The methods provide an initial treatment step in advance of traditional grinding or fractionation operations (such as dry milling or wet milling operations) that facilitate separation of starch from other components of starch-based grains, for example facilitate separation of soft endosperm from other components of corn kernels including hard endosperm. The systems include a first treatment system for separating a high purity starch stream from other components of the grain stream, wherein the system can be configured as a bolt on for traditional milling operations such as wet milling and dry milling operations.

Abstract: Methods, compositions, and systems for steeping, propagation and fermentation, particularly large-scale operations for production of starch and ethanol and fermentation product streams are provided. Addition of mycotoxin mitigating enzymes or microorganisms expressing mycotoxin mitigating enzymes to steeping, propagation, and/or fermentation tanks, and/or to post-fermentation product streams, mitigates mycotoxin levels in fermentation co-products obtained from mycotoxin contaminated feedstocks.

Abstract: Vegetable oil compositions, as an example, corn oil, having an elevated lower alkyl ester content above about 7% weight percent of the total weight of the oil composition, and uses thereof are provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems of fermenting that include, after the fermentable composition has been exposed to fermentations conditions to produce biochemical, exposing at least a portion of a fermentable composition to a disruption process to disrupt at least a portion of insoluble solid component. After the fermentable composition has been exposed to a disruption process, the fermentable composition can be exposed to fermentation conditions again to product biochemical.

Abstract: Methods, compositions, and systems for propagation and fermentation of co-cultures of an oxygen sensitive bacteria and a yeast, particularly large scale operations for production of a bioproduct are provided. Methods of co-culture provide growth sufficient to minimize growth of contaminating bacteria.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for concentrating a solids stream recovered from one or more process streams derived from a beer in a biorefinery by exposing the recovered solids stream to an evaporator system to remove moisture therefrom and form a concentrated, recovered solids stream.

Abstract: Methods, compositions, and systems for propagation and fermentation, particularly large scale operations for production of ethanol and dried distiller's grain are provided. Addition of Z. mobilis to propagation and/or fermentation decreases lactic acid bacterial contamination.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure involve systems and methods that inhibit the production of lactic acid during propagation of yeast and/or during hydrolysis of cellulose by including a sufficient amount of dissolved oxygen.

Abstract: Genetically modified microorganisms useful in fermentation and methods of using such microorganisms are provided. Such microorganisms contain a [GAR+] prion or are modified to contain a [GAR+] prion. Exemplary microorganisms include yeast such as S. cerevisiae. The microorganisms can be further modified to convert xylose and/or arabinose. Methods of fermentation using such microorganisms exhibit improved fermentation efficiency and improved microorganism viability.
