The present invention provides process for treating crop kernels, comprising the steps of a) soaking kernels in water to produce soaked kernels; b) grinding the soaked kernels; c) treating the soaked kernels in the presence of an effective amount of an acetylxylan esterase, wherein step c) is performed before, during or after step b). 2. The process of claim 1 , further comprising treating the soaked kernels in the presence of a protease.3. The process of claim 1 , further comprising treating the soaked kernels in the presence of an enzyme selected from the group consisting of an endoglucanase claim 1 , a xylanase claim 1 , a cellobiohydrolase I claim 1 , a cellobiohydrolase II claim 1 , a GH61 claim 1 , or a combination thereof.4. The process of claim 1 , further comprising treating the soaked kernels in the presence of an endoglucanase.5. The process of claim 1 , further comprising treating the soaked kernels in the presence of a xylanase.6. The process of claim 1 , wherein the kernels are soaked in water for about 2-10 hours.7. The process of claim 1 , wherein the soaking is carried out at a temperature between about 40° C. and about 60° C.8. The process of claim 1 , wherein the soaking is carried out at acidic pH.9. The process of claim 1 , wherein the soaking is performed in the presence of between 0.01-1% SO2 and/or NaHSO3.10. The process of claim 1 , wherein the crop kernels are from corn (maize) claim 1 , rice claim 1 , barley claim 1 , sorghum bean claim 1 , or fruit hulls claim 1 , or wheat.11. The process of claim 1 , further comprising treating the kernels with pentosanase claim 1 , pectinase claim 1 , arabinanase claim 1 , arabinofurasidase claim 1 , xyloglucanase claim 1 , protease claim 1 , and/or phytase.12. (canceled)13. The process of claim 1 , wherein the acetylxylan esterase enhances the wet milling benefit of one or more enzymes. This application is a Continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 14/646,568 filed on May 21, 2015 which is a 35 U.S.C. ...
