AB  - Four commercial samples of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) were 
      sieved. All sieved fractions except for the pan fraction, constituting about 90% 
      of original mass, were then winnowed with an air blast seed cleaner. Sieving was 
      effective in producing fractions with varying composition. As the particle size 
      decreased, protein and ash contents increased, and total carbohydrate (CHO) 
      decreased. Winnowing sieved fractions was also effective in shifting composition, 
      particularly for larger particle classes. Heavy sub-fractions were enriched in 
      protein, oil and ash, while light sub-fractions were enriched for CHO. For 
      protein, the combination of the two procedures resulted in a maximum 56.4% 
      reduction in a fraction and maximum 60.2% increase in another fraction. As 
      airflow velocity increased, light sub-fraction mass increased, while the 
      compositional difference between the heavy and light sub-fractions decreased. 
      Winnowing three times at a lower velocity was as effective as winnowing one time 
      at a medium velocity. Winnowing the whole DDGS was much less effective than 
      winnowing sieved fractions in changing composition, but sieving winnowed 
      fractions was more effective than sieving whole DDGS. The two combination 
      sequences gave comparable overall effects but sieving followed by winnowing is 
      recommended because it requires less time. Regardless of combinational sequence, 
      the second procedure was more effective in shifting composition than the first 
      procedure.
