Abstract
An improved process for obtaining value added by-products from an ethanol production whole stillage is disclosed wherein the whole stillage is mixed with additives to form a nutrition enriched product stream that is subsequently dried to produce a nutrition enriched product having a water content of less than 12% by weight. In a preferred embodiment the whole stillage is obtained from a ethanol production process that has utilized a corn flour as the starting feedstock. The corn flour is then hydrolyzed along with added vitamins and/or nutrients and/or enzymes. The hydrolyzed product is then preferably mixed with a soy hull flour, also preferably having a median particle size of less than about 100 microns, and subjected to conventional fermentation conditions to produce an ethanol containing product. The ethanol-containing product is then distilled to produce an ethanol enriched steam and the separate whole stillage to be used as the feedstock.
