Abstract

Distillers' solubles, soluble components and the liquid obtained after distillation of fermented mash and removal of distillers'grins, are often recycled as «backset» to reduce effluent treatment costs and water usage. In the study, recycling of laboratory distillers' solubles was carried out over five successive fermentations. When 50% backset was used in a 30-gal mash (30 U.S. gal/56-lb bushel, a term used by corn distillers) using wheat as the substrate, yeast growth and ethanol production remained unaffected over five successive fermentations. The final cell yields approximated 9×10 7 yeasts/mL
