FROM CORN KERNEL FIBER

Corn Kernel Fiber Testing

Soliton Sciences provides corn kernel fiber testing and analytical laboratory services used to qualify cellulosic ethanol production pathways. Our laboratory supports ethanol producers seeking qualification for RFS D3 RIN generation and LCFS carbon intensity reporting.

We employ all available analytical methods for corn kernel fiber conversion pathways.

  • NEW! ASTM E3503 Hemicellulose Method approved by EPA for RFS D3 RINs

  • NREL TP-2800-76724 cellulose method approved by EPA for RFS D3 RINs

  • NREL Cellulose + ASTM Hemicellulose = Increased Conversion = More Total Value

  • Additionally, our Proprietary Fiber Methods have been approved by CARB for the generation of carbon credit in conjunction with the production of low carbon intensity cellulosic ethanol

All methods suitable for use for any blend of corn and sorghum.

Our cost structure is fair and equitable; keeping the lion’s share of the value in our customers’ hands—where it belongs. We have a simple, locked-in fee structure that is not tied to the value of your product or the RIN/CI credit values—meaning, you the customer get all the upside—like it should be.

Corn Kernel Fiber Testing FAQs

  • Corn kernel fiber testing is laboratory analysis used to measure the cellulosic fiber portion of corn remaining after starch fermentation in ethanol production. Analytical testing helps quantify fiber conversion and verify production pathways used in cellulosic ethanol processes.

  • Corn kernel fiber analysis helps ethanol producers measure and verify the fiber fraction of corn used in cellulosic ethanol production pathways. Accurate laboratory data supports process monitoring and regulatory reporting requirements.

  • Corn kernel fiber is measured using analytical laboratory methods designed to isolate and quantify fiber components within a sample. These methods allow laboratories to determine the composition of fermentation byproducts and production streams.

  • Corn kernel fiber is the structural component of the corn kernel that remains after starch is converted to ethanol. In certain production pathways, this fiber can be processed to produce additional cellulosic ethanol.

  • Independent laboratory testing ensures analytical results are accurate, traceable, and defensible. Reliable testing data helps ethanol producers verify process performance and maintain confidence in analytical results.
