Oddly enough, my current read, The Omnivore's Dilemma by Micheal Pollan,
gets into the 1970's discovery of enzymes used to break down starches and
thus create high fructose corn syrup (sweet as sugar, only cheaper), much
like the article Mayf posted about creating hydrogen.
So it's safe to say ADM and Cargill (the largest privately owned company in
the US) who together control the "wet milling" of corn in this country, will
certainly be looking hard at this methodology.
It's a very good read, BTW, illustrating how Corporate America is able to
find double digit growth where population growth is much more modest and
demand for food inelastic (good for shareholders, pretty bad for everybody
else however).
