“…Ramirez-Cadavid et al ( 2014 ) used cavitation in a commercial-scale corn ethanol production process to release and hydrolyze unconverted carbohydrate fractions. The results show that cavitation altered the particle size distribution led to qualitative changes in cell structure, increased the total sugars after liquefaction, reduced the total solids after liquefaction, and led to significant increases in ethanol production and solids conversion during SSF.…”

The hydrodynamic cavitation comes out as a promising route to lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment releasing huge amounts of energy and inducing physical and chemical transformations, which favor lignin–carbohydrate matrix disruption. The hydrodynamic cavitation process combined with other pretreatment processes has shown an attractive alternative with high pretreatment efficiency, low energy consumption, and easy setup for large-scale applications compared to conventional pretreatment methods. This present review includes an overview of this promising technology and a detailed discussion on the process of parameters that affect the phenomena and future perspectives of development of this area.

“…The mixture is then cooked at a jet cooker at 120°C (Ramirez‐Cadavid et al., 2014). Next, the mash is passed to the liquefaction chamber set at 80–90°C and retained for 30 min after adding heat‐stable amylase (α‐amylase).…”

Corn distillers dried grains with solubles: Production, properties, and potential uses

Background and objectives The grain‐based ethanol production has been increasing as the demand for biofuel additives increased, and the fossil fuel sources decreased. Distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) are a primary coproduct of bioethanol plants of the conventional corn dry‐grind process. With increasing corn‐based ethanol production, DDGS production is increased, and it has become a global commodity. Despite the high nutritional value of DDGS, however, its uses are still not fully explored. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the DDGS production process, chemical and physical properties, nutritional value, and the potential of using DDGS in cattle, fish, poultry feed, and human foods. The challenges of using DDGS in animal feed and human food are discussed. Findings Distillers dried grains with solubles has been identified as a protein substitute that is both readily available and competitively priced (per unit protein) compared to other conventional alternative protein sources. Researchers have discovered measures to boost DDGS quality and safety. Several approaches have been proposed to improve the DDGS digestibility and nutritional value. Although the benefits and risks associated with the DDGS uses are identified, more research is required to regulate the quality and safety standards for DDGS. Conclusions Versatile applications of DDGS will valorize this coproduct. The development of DDGS utilization enhances health and functional benefits to animals and humans; it also assists bioethanol plants economically. Significance and novelty The information will not only provide knowledge of DDGS in terms of its production process, nutritional value, and applications but, more importantly, explore the opportunities of developing new uses of this under‐utilized commodity.
