  • Publication number: 20150056327
    Abstract: Compositions derived from grain-to-ethanol fermentation processes and methods of producing the compositions are provided. The compositions may be corn meal products generated by fractionating corn kernels to isolate the endosperm, converting starch in the endosperm to sugar at temperatures less than 150-180° F., fermenting the sugar, and separating out the resulting solids. The solids may undergo a protein extraction process, and then undergo a solvent exchange to remove water from the solids and re-place it with a more volatile chemical, such as ethanol. The solids are then dried at less than 150-180° F. The resulting meal product may include protein in an amount ranging from about 31 to about 45%, up to about 3% fat, up to about 3% ash, a neutral detergent fiber in an amount ranging from about 32 to about 50%, and up to about 15% starch, all on a dry weight basis.
