Artificial Neural Network Modeling of Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) Flowability with Varying Process and Storage Parameters

Rosentrater, Kurt A.; Muthukumarappan, K.; Bhadra, Rumela (2014-05-30)

Neural network (NN) modeling techniques were used to predict flowability behavior of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) prepared with varying levels of condensed distillers solubles (10, 15, and 20%, wb), drying ...
Cross-Sectional Staining and Surface Properties of DDGS Particles and Their Influence on Flowability

Bhadra, Rumela; Rosentrater, Kurt A.; Muthukumarappan, K. (2014-05-30)

With the U.S. fuel ethanol industry projected to grow during the next several years, supplies of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) are anticipated to continue to grow as well. DDGS is used primarily as livestock ...
Drying characteristics of distillers wet grains under varying condensed distillers solubles and drying temperature levels

Bhadra, Rumela; Rosentrater, Kurt A.; Muthukumarappan, Kasiviswanathan; Kannadhason, Sankaranandh (2014-04-28)

Distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) has been shown to be an excellent livestock feed ingredient, and it is produced by the fuel ethanol industry, which is primarily located in the Midwest United States. There is ...
Drying Kinetics of Distillers Wet Grains (DWG) Under Varying Condensed Distillers Solubles (CDS) and Temperature Levels

Bhadra, Rumela; Kannadhason, S.; Rosentrater, Kurt A.; Muthukumarappan, K. (2014-05-30)

Distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) is a widely used animal feed. But transportation of DDGS is often troublesome because of its stickiness. DDGS is formed by combining condensed distillers solubles (CDS) with ...
Effects of CDS and drying temperature on the flowability behavior of DDGS

Bhadra, Rumela; Muthukumarappan, K.; Rosentrater, Kurt A. (2012-05-21)

Due to increasing demand for alternative fuels and theneed to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, the growth of bioethanol production has been rising. One of the problems facing this industry is transportation of the coproduct ...
Effects of Varying CDS Levels and Drying and Cooling Temperatures on Flowability Properties of DDGS

Rosentrater, Kurt A.; Muthukumarappan, K.; Bhadra, Rumela (2014-05-30)

Demand for alternative fuels and the need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels have triggered the growth of corn-based ethanol production, which is expected to rise in future years. Transportation of the coproduct distillers ...
Flowability Properties of Commercial Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS)

Rosentrater, Kurt A.; Muthukumarappan, K.; Bhadra, Rumela (2014-05-30)

Distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), the major coproduct from the corn-based fuel ethanol industry, is primarily used as livestock feed. Due to high protein, fiber, and energy contents, there is a high demand for ...
Measurement and Comparison of Glass Transition and Sticky Point Temperatures of Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) with Varying Condensed Distillers Solubles (CDS) and Drying Temperature Levels

Bhadra, Rumela; Rosentrater, Kurt A.; Muthukumarappan, Kasiviswanath

Distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) is the main coproduct of the U.S. fuel ethanol industry and has significantly impacted the livestock feed markets in recent years. Particle agglomeration and subsequent flowability ...
Measurement of sticky point temperature of coffee powder with a rheometer

Bhadra, Rumela; Muthukumarappan, K.; Rosentrater, Kurt A. (2014-04-30)

Sticky point temperature (Ts) is a parameter that quantifies stickiness of food and biological powders. It is traditionally measured using glass instruments. In this study we developed a new methodology to measure sticky ...
Physical and Chemical Characterization of Fuel Ethanol Coproducts Relevant to Value-Added Uses

Muthukumarappan, K.; Rosentrater, Kurt A.; Bhadra, Rumela (2014-05-30)

One of the fastest growing industries in the United States is the fuel ethanol industry. In terms of ethanol production capability, the industry has grown by more than 600% since the year 2000. The major coproducts from ...
