Researchers at the University of Illinois have teamed with two USDA laboratories to fine tune their research in the corn wet-milling process, using small, single-owner plants in other countries.

Vijay Singh, an associate professor in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, has led the field in the development of a process called enzymatic corn wet milling.

"This process reduces steep time and produces starch yields comparable to conventional corn wet milling," said Singh.
