Brewers´spent grain (BSG), the residue of beer brewing, is an industrial side stream produced in large amounts (estimated 39 million tonnes per annum).
Despite its valuable nutritional composition, spent grain is not an easy ingredient to work with due to its uneven and coarse structure. The project team has expertise in making plant materials more suitable via fermentation, releasing health-beneficial components to make healthier food products via scalable green technologies. BSG-BioBev will create the knowledge needed to transform BSG into an ingredient for plant-based fermented beverages with enhanced functional and sensory profile while maintaining a “clean label” status.
