Corn oil and corn meal obtained from corn are included in useful products. A method for producing fermentation-based products comprises combining corn meal with water and an enzyme, and mixing the combination with a micro-organism capable of fermenting a carbon source to produce a fermentation-based product. The corn meal is produced by cracking whole corn, conditioning the whole corn and extracting the whole corn to produce corn meal without flaking the corn during processing. The corn grain process generally includes the steps of cracking corn grain having a total oil content of from about 3% by weight to about 30% by weight and extracting a corn oil from the cracked corn grain.

A closed-loop cyclic utilization technology for the technological water in the procedure of preparing corn starch is disclosed. After the technological water is used to prepare sulfurous acid and immerse corn grains in it, it flows in technological water pool behind evaporation, condensing and regulating pH value. The technological water is also used for coarse grinding, fine grinding, and washing germinal buds and fibers. After two-stage air-floating separation, the water containing bran flows in protein depositing tank. The supernatant is drained in technological water pool and the protein deposit is recovered.

A computer-based system for characterizing in real time the nutritional components of one of more ingredients for a ruminant feed ration, including dry matter, NDF, NDFd, lignified NDF ratio, peNDF, percent starch, IVSD, and particle size for a forage material; and IVSD and particle size for a grain material. The system utilizes proprietary NIRS equations based upon prior samplings of a variety of crop species like dual-purpose corn silage, leafy corn silage, brown midrib (“BMR”) corn silage, grass (silage/dry), alfalfa (silage/dry), BMR forage sorghum, normal dent starch grain, floury endosperm starch grain, vitreous endosperm grain, and steam-flaked corn grain, and applies those equations to current samplings of a corresponding crop to predict in real time the characteristics of such forage or grain material. The real-time characterization system may also utilize the predicted data to calculate a “total ration fermentation index” value that takes into account the total NDFd and IVSD characteristics (including RAS and RBS) of the forage and starch ingredients to be used in a feed ration to ensure that the ration will not contribute too much or too little digestibility to the cow. A “flash fermentation index” identifies feed formulations, based upon the real-time characterizations of the ingredients, that are too “hot” to feed to the cows without incurring the risk of lost production and adverse health issues.
