A corn wet-milling process comprises steeping corn kernels in an aqueous
liquid, which produces softened corn; milling the softened corn in a
first mill, which produces a first milled corn; separating germ from the
first milled corn, thereby producing a germ-depleted first milled corn;
milling the germ-depleted first milled corn in a second mill, producing a
second milled corn; separating the second milled corn into a first
starch/protein portion that comprises starch and protein and a first
fiber portion that comprises fiber, starch, and protein; milling the
first fiber portion in a third mill, which produces a milled fiber
material that comprises fiber, starch, and protein; separating at least
some of the starch and protein in the milled fiber material from the
fiber therein, producing a second fiber portion that comprises fiber and
starch and a second starch/protein portion that comprises starch and
protein; and contacting the second fiber portion with at least one enzyme
to convert at least some of the starch therein to dextrose. The converted
material is screened using one or more screens to separate the fiber from
the liquor. The liquor can be fermented to ethanol, or refined to
dextrose. The fiber can be pressed and dried as an animal feed.
