Ferulic acid dehydrodimers (DFA) and dehydrotrimers (TriFA) ester-linked to plant cell wall polymers may cross-link not only cell wall polysaccharides but also other cell wall components including proteins and lignin, thus enhancing the rigidity and potentially affecting the enzymatic degradation of the plant cell wall. Corn, wheat, and mixed-cereal distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) were investigated for composition of DFAs and TriFAs by reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. Corn DDGS contained 5.3 and 5.9 times higher contents of total DFAs than wheat and mixed-cereal DDGS, respectively. Furthermore, the contents of total TriFAs were 5.7 and 6.3 times higher in corn DDGS than in wheat and mixed-cereal DDGS, respectively. In addition, both corn grains and corresponding DDGS had similar profiles of individual DFAs and TriFAs, indicating that ferulic acid cross-links in the corn cell wall are presumably not modified during fermentation and DDGS processing.
Various hydrolyzing enzymes are used in drygrind corn ethanol processes, mainly during liquefaction and saccharification steps, to improve yields of ethanol and/or distillers' corn oil. However, the effects of enzyme addition on characteristics of distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS) are not thoroughly understood. In this study, the effects of using acid-stable protease, pectinase, and cellulase enzymes during fermentation on chemical and physical characteristics of DDGS were evaluated, including in vitro digestibility using a pig digestion model. The use of a protease resulted in DDGS with a greater fiber content than the control (36% vs. 22%), as well as reduced protein digestibility (64% vs. 69%). The use of pectinase and cellulase (PC) also increased the fiber content of DDGS (29%) and significantly improved the protein content (27%) and protein digestibility (73%) compared with the other treatments. DDGS treated with hydrolyzing enzymes tended to have a darker color and lower waterholding capacity, but better amino-acid digestibility. Treatments with hydrolyzing enzymes significantly altered the composition and characteristics of DDGS, which strongly indicated that PC mix utilized is an effective combination to add during fermentation to produce high-quality DDGS without undesirable effects on ethanol production. The enzyme-treated DDGS can be an inexpensive and nutrientrich diet supply to the porcine diets; however, effects on cattle and dairy cow diets were beyond the scope of the study.
