Dried distillers grains amino acids

The world demand for lysine is expected to increase continually. The increasing ethanol fermentation capacity for gasohol production provides an opportunity for increased lysine production. Distillers dried grains (DDG), a by-product of ethanol fermentation used as a protein source in animal feeds, is deficient in lysine and other essential amino acids. It needs to be supplemented with lysine for full-value use.
