Abstract

Dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) are co-products of the ethanol industry using corn as a feedstock. Because of its nutritional composition with high content of protein and fiber, combined with low cost, DDGS has been used in animal feed production, although still little known in Brazil for this application, as well as in humans for food. With the increased use of DDGS to the world stage, particularly their inclusion in animal feed has been a concern for their safety as the proliferation of bacteria / fungi, formation of mycotoxins and other types of contaminants. The objective of this review is to report the processing characteristics of DDGS, its nutritional composition, possible applications and especially their safety (biological and chemical contaminants).
