Research Project: Grain Fractionation for Efficient Fuel Ethanol Production

Location: Crop Conversion Science and Engineering

Project Number: 1935-41000-072-03
Project Type: Nonfunded Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Jan 02, 2007
End Date: Dec 31, 2009

Objective:
The objective of this cooperative research project is to increase the efficiency and lower the cost of fuel ethanol production from corn.

Approach:
Develop ¿upstream¿ dry milling fractionation processes to recover valuable non-fermentable corn kernel coproduct fractions (pericarp and germ) and to produce high-starch fractions for more efficient ethanol production.
