Purification and characterisation of xylooligosaccharides (XOS) from wheat-based dried distillers grains with solubles
The aim of this project was to purify xylan which is the major hemicellulose in wheat bran from dried distiller’s grains with solubles (DDGS). DDGS is a by-product from the fuel ethanol industry which uses wheat grain as a raw material. The wheat grain is used for the fermentation of starch to produce ethanol in the presence of yeast. The ethanol produced in this way is purified by distillation.
