Abstract
Hulls are removed from brewer's spent grain (BSG) by drying and milling the BSG in a roller mill having a differential of about 2.5 to about 4.0 and a tight setting, followed by passing the milled mixture through a No. 36 light wire sieve which retains the hulls and permits the bran to pass through. An improved method of making bread with bran which comprises thoroughly mixing the bran with oil and surfactant before adding the other bread ingredients is also described.
