Brewer's spent grain (BSG) is a by-product of brewing. It is rich in fibre and protein, but low in sugar. Around 40 million tons of brewers' spent grain are produced each year, with much being used as animal feed or biogas, and the rest going to landfill – up until now. Because now, we are making this side-stream more viable for usage in the food industry. By upcycling brewers' spent grain into a liquid ingredient, the next generation of plant-based drinks is taking shape.
This line lets you produce beverages from spent grain in a cost-efficient and repeatable way. The extraction process includes grinding, enzyme treatment and deactivation for consistent product quality and flavour. Beverage properties are optimised through formulation with high shear mixing, aseptic processing and homogenisation. UHT treatment ensures food safety.
Spent grain is packed with potential, and represents an exciting opportunity for plant-based beverage producers. Here are three reasons why you should consider it for your next innovative product.
What’s the true potential of spent grain? Why will it appeal to consumers? How can you adapt your existing plant-based line to handle this ingredient? We cover all of this, and more, in our quick guide.
Los granos usados de cervecería (BSG) son un subproducto de la cervecería. Son ricos en fibras y proteínas, pero tienen muy bajo contenido de azúcar. Debido a su rápido deterioro, cada año alrededor de 40 millones de toneladas de granos usados de cervecería se utilizan principalmente como alimento para animales o como relleno. Hasta ahora. Ya que ahora, hacemos que este flujo secundario esté disponible para su uso en la industria de los alimentos. Al reciclar los granos usados en cervecería hasta convertirlo en un ingrediente líquido, la próxima generación de bebidas de origen vegetal está tomando forma.
