Ethanol byproducts to improve feeding?

Published Tuesday 24 August 2010

The Padu Krishnan’s research team of the University of South Dakota state estimates it will be possible to use DGG (Distillers Dried Grains) of corn and ethanol byproducts, in human feeding to fight against hunger.

Padu Krishnan has made traditionnal asiatic cakes, called chapathi or naan, strengthened 20 % of the flour in fibers and proteins by DDG of food quality.

Krishnan said : « We have a chance to feed the world. Actually, the world needs useful proteins but they are not enought sources of meat. »

Substitute 10% of chapati flour by DGG improve fibers rate in bread from 2.9% to 7.8% and proteins rate from 10.5% to 12.9%. So, that will be possible to make basic food (tortillas, noodles, biscuits) more heathly because more rich in fibers.
