Since the beginning of 2020, world slowly began to grind a halt in grip SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. At time writing this editorial, UNICEF (2021) estimated that approxi...

Over the past three decades ethanol production in the United States has increased more than 10-fold, to approx 2.9 billion gal/yr (mid-2003), with ethanol production expected to reach 5 billion gal/yr by 2005. The simultaneous coproduction of 7 million t/yr of distiller's grain (DG) may potentially drive down the price of DG as a cattle feed supplement. The sale of residual DG for animal feed i...

Fuel ethanol production is one of the fastest growing segments in American agriculture. Currently, there are 83 ethanol plants in production, with an additional 16 ethanol plants under construction. These ethanol plants have production capacity of 4.3 billion gallons of ethanol per year (Renewable Fuels Association, December, 2004). Approximately 40% of fuel ethanol is produced by wet-mills, an...

To investigate the ability of corn germ to withstand the fuel ethanol fermentation process without major damage to germ integrity and germ oil quality, five treatments were designed to explore degerming before fermentation (front-end) and after fermentation (tail-end), and the feasibility of breaking the kernel with minimum shear forces (wet-split). Germ from low-shear (wet-split) tail-end dege...

Abstract This study examined the influence of ground coffee granulometry and particle distribution on extraction parameters. They have been investigated physicochemical properties, bioactive volatile compound content in obtained by a conventional filter method, French Press, as function size distribution. Some samples used for directly grinding machine, set at different grade, other seed before...

In a conventional dry grind process, corn is processed to produce ethanol and a low valued animal food coproduct called distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). Approximately 33% of corn in dry grind ethanol plant becomes DDGS. Due to its high fiber content DDGS has traditionally being sold as ruminant foodstuffs. New fractionation technologies are being implemented to recovery valuable co...
