Corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) are not nutritionally complete as a nonruminant ingredient owing to poor essential amino acid profile, and high fat and fiber contents. Coproducts of soybean enzyme-assisted aqueous extraction process, skim (wastewater) and insoluble fiber (IF; solid residue), and/or enzymes (pectinase, cellulase, and acid protease; referred to as PCF) were evaluated as distillers dried grains (DDG) nutritional quality enhancers in corn fermentation. Corn-soy DDG had similar to 10% higher protein, similar to 3% lower fat, and similar to 2% lower fiber contents compared to corn DDG; fiber content was further reduced with PCF treatment (similar to 4% total decrease). Concentrations of all essential amino acids in corn-soy DDG showed at least a threefold increase, except for allo-isoleucine and tryptophan, compared to corn DDG. Corn-soy DDG had similar to 25% decrease in total fatty acid (TFA) and similar to 6% decrease in free fatty acid (FFA) contents compared to corn DDG; TFA and FFA contents further decreased with PCF treatment. Corn-soy DDG had similar to 15%, 3%, and 1.7% lower hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin contents, respectively, compared to corn DDG; hemicellulose content further decreased with PCF treatment. Mineral composition of corn-soy DDG was in the recommended range, except Na and S were out of range by 0.79% and 0.74%, respectively. All results, except for Na and S, suggest strong potential of using skim and IF as DDG nutritional quality enhancers.
