Abstract: The invention is a method for preparing a bran from wet distiller's grain (WDG) or distiller's dried grain with solubles (DDGS). In the method sodium bicarbonate, amino acid and potato starch are added to the wet, solid residue from the fermentation of grain. Then, the residue-additive mix is blended and dried to produce a bran which may be utilized on a 50-50 weight basis with wheat flour, for example, in the manufacture of noodles and baked goods.
