What are the byproducts of starch manufacturing called? --Gbleem 16:14, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As starch is usually "manufactured" by separating the endosperm of grain, the immediate byproducts are the bran and germ. These components contain a majority of the protein, fat and vitamins of the grain (valuable as fodder), whereas the endosperm contains the majority of carbohydrates (useful for fermenting). Other byproducts (depending on the cereal used) include the chaff (removed during threshing) and any straw (the rest of the plant) usually left in the field. See whole_grain and chaff for more information. Benjamindees (talk) 23:06, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Surely the title should be "Distillers' grains" with an apostrophe. Otherwise it doesn't make grammatical sense. 82.113.133.21 (talk) 11:14, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. Personally I think it should be singular as well. "Distillers' Grain" is more commonly used. This is sort of like "foods." Zagadka314 (talk) 16:01, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Guardians of Wikipedia please forgive me for I'm probably doing this wrong, somehow, but I thought I should bring up that the first source link (to ksgrains.com) is broken. 50.37.61.243 (talk) 20:16, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(This is the second time I am posting this, for some reason it didn't save last time)

The information on this article, and most other articles concerning ethanol, is outdated. I believe we should put templates on articles stating these articles are outdated and that these articles should be consolidated and/or expanded.

One issue on this page:

The DGS numbers are outdated. Today, 1 bushel of corn is turned into 2.8 gallons of ethanol^[1] and 17 pounds of DDGS^[2] (p874). That is 417L per tonne and 304 kg of DDGS per tonne. I do not have a source for WDGS, the the RFS2 says that 37% of DGS is sold as WDGS and lowers the carbon intensity of the system due to less drying.
