Several coproducts result from fractionating corn in the wet-milling process. Because small changes in product composition and milling characteristics can have a major impact on coproduct yields and values, testing is done to anticipate final product yields. Using small sample size and controlled conditions, a laboratory wet-milling method proved to be a useful tool for wet milling and genetics industries. A wet-milling process (100-g batches) was used for data collection. Data collected during 11 years (1994–2004) were observed for samples used as benchmarks to verify process precision and accuracy and determine correlations among wet-milling yields. More than 400 milling tests were performed on benchmark samples. Data from benchmark samples also were pooled. Co-
