Gen 1.5 Corn Fiber Processing and High-Value Product Diversification
In the early days of corn ethanol production, sufficient profit could be made by offering a simple mix of ethanol and distillers dried grains (DDG). This strategy allowed a plant to focus on ethanol yield, which was sufficient for most plants’ bottom line.
The Importance of Diversified Feed Products in the Ethanol Industry
