Description: Ontario contributes around 63% of total corn production in Canada. Condensed Corn Distillers Solubles (CDS) is a low-value co-product generated during bioethanol production. CDS is rich in organic fractions which can be a potential basis for the biorefinery approach. Therefore, a detailed evaluation and separation techniques were adopted to isolate and identify major components for a newer value chain from this resource. Isolation and characterization of various components using Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) have demonstrated it to be a significant source of biochemicals such as 2, 3-butanediol, pentanoic acid, glycerol, and butanedioic acid. Similarly, the minerals were identified using WD-XRF and quantified some of the key minerals such as P, K, and Na. The major mineral component phosphorous gets accumulated passed on in the form of phytate in CDS and this further forms complex materials with other valuable components during processing and fermentation. The selective removal of such complex macromolecules and complexes are evaluated and demonstrated to help in isolating the remaining constituents of CDS easily. Detailed understanding of CDS composition and extractable components offers an opportunity to establish an undervalued and underutilized resource for sustainable and greener production technologies.
