Abstract: The present invention provides for methods of managing the protein content of multiple distiller's grain co-products of a fermentation process. A valuable protein rich distiller's grain co-product having greater than 40 wt % protein on a dry basis can be removed from whole stillage or spent grains; however the protein content in the residual wet cake is reduced. The present invention provides for methods to mitigate protein depletion in wet cake by removing non-protein components from the wet cake stream, from the low protein thin stillage stream added to wet cake, or both streams. The present invention provides for blending protein depleted and protein enriched streams to meet the protein specifications of multiple distiller's grain co-products.

Abstract: A method of hydrothermally treating stillage by heating stillage to 200 degrees F.-350 degrees F., altering the physicochemical properties of the stillage by making solids in the stillage less hydrophilic, enabling facile separation of the stillage into a high protein solids fraction, a stickwater fraction, and an oil fraction due to the altering step, and, creating unique product fractions including the high protein solids fraction, the stickwater fraction, and the oil fraction. Oil, stickwater, high protein solids fraction, high protein meal, metabolites, biomass, and media obtained from the methods above.
