Publication number: 20150147311Abstract: A process for mechanical destructuring of cellulosic biomass was developed that makes use of a short application of high compression, impact, and shearing forces. The biomass may be destructured using a specific energy input that is less than 40% of the total combustible energy of the biomass. The destructured biomass, with or without saccharification and/or in-feed glycosyl hydrolase enzymes, may be used in feed applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2014Publication date: May 28, 2015Inventors: Wathudura Indika Namal De Silva, Paul Joseph Fagan, F. Glenn Gallagher, Zheng-Zheng Huang, Guangliang Gary Liu, Aaron Perelman, Luis Fernando Romero Millan, Anton Shpilsky, Daniel A. Slanac, Maria Walsh

Publication number: 20150147786Abstract: A process for mechanical destructuring of starch-based biomass was developed that makes use of a short application of high compression, impact, and shearing forces. The biomass may be destructured using a specific energy input that is less than 40% of the total combustible energy of the biomass. The destructured starch-based biomass, with or without saccharification and/or in-feed glycosyl hydrolase enzymes, may be used in feed applications. The destructured starch-based may saccharified to produce syrups and fermentable sugars, and for production of products including ethanol using a biocatalyst.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2014Publication date: May 28, 2015Inventors: KATHLEEN A CLARKSON, F Glenn Gallagher, Aaron Perelman, Luis Fernando Romero Millan, Vivek Sharma, Jayarama K. Shetty, Daniel A. Slanac, Paula Johanna Maria Teunissen
