Abstract:
1. A Dried Distiller's Solubles (DDS) composition having the following properties: moisture content between about 0.5 wt % and about 10 wt %; and an amino acid content of at least about 10 wt % of a crude protein fraction of the Dried Distiller's Solubles (DDS) dry matter; and wherein the Dried Distiller's Solubles (DDS) is formed by drying Condensed Distiller's Solubles (CDS) in a drying pulsed gas stream having a maximum velocity of at least 60 meters per second, a temperature differential between a first and a second temperature of the gas stream is between about 400° F. to 1700° F., the first temperature is about 600° F. to about 1800° F., and the second temperature is about 130° F. to about 200° F., wherein the first and second temperatures of the drying gas stream are selected so that any volatile organic content (VOC) having nutritional or health benefits is not vaporized.
