Abstract:
An improved dry grind system and method for producing a sugar stream from grains or similar carbohydrate sources and/or residues, such as for biochemical production. In particular, after saccharification and prior to a sugar conversion process, a sugar/carbohydrate stream is removed from a saccharified stream. The sugar/carbohydrate stream includes a desired Dextrose Equivalent (DE) where DE describes the degree of conversion of starch to dextrose can be produced, with the such sugar stream being available for biochemical production, e.g., alcohol production, or other processes. In addition, the systems and methods also can involve the removal of certain grain components, e.g., corn kernel components, including protein and/or fiber. Sugar stream production occurs on the front end of the system and method.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1  further comprising subjecting the first liquefied starch solution to a separate saccharification step from the initial liquid portion to convert the starch in the first liquefied starch solution to simple sugars and produce a saccharified stream including the initial solids and the simple sugars for further processing, wherein, prior to separation of the saccharified stream of the second liquefied starch solution into the solids portion and the liquid portion including the simple sugar, the saccharified stream of the second liquefied starch solution does not combine with the saccharified stream of the first liquefied starch solution.
