In South Dakota, South Dakota State University food science professor Padmanaban Krishnan received a four-year grant geared toward getting corn co-products to the food market. With a $576,000 project budget for the Minnesota Corn Growers Association grant, Krishnan will work with the food and ethanol industries with the goal of bringing food-grade dried distiller’s grain (DDG) to the commercial marketplace. Both industries will need research data on food ingredient quality standards, commercial processing steps, scale-up production and cost-effectiveness.
