Evaluation of Residual Starch Determination Methods for Dried Distillers' Grains with Solubles (DDGS)
DownloadSpring 2012
A co-product of ethanol production is known as dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS). DDGS contains residual starch that escaped hydrolysis under ideal conditions during ethanol production; therefore, residual starch in DDGS is expected to include enzyme-resistant starch. Common starch...
