Improving the use of brewer spent grains (by-products) in food manufacturing to increase the sustainability of the food chain and meet growing food demands
Funbrew integrates both fundamental and applied research to fully exploit the potential of brewery side streams and to enable the development of sustainable food systems
Funbrew integrates both fundamental and applied research to fully exploit the potential of brewery side streams and to enable the development of sustainable food systems. The use of spent grain proposed in Funbrew follows a “closed loop” model and is expected to have a positive impact on environment and nutrition, making more of a good resource. Brewer’s spent grain is rich in nutrients but does not have a good performance when used in food as such. The focus of Funbrew is the establishment of bioprocessing technologies, such as controlled fermentation (by using lactic acid bacteria), to transform the properties of the brewer’s spent grain enhancing its processability. The mission of Funbrew is to integrate both fundamental and applied research to use the potential of brewery side streams and to enable the development of more sustainable food systems.The project aims at recycling brewer’s spent grain into a functional ingredient for food industry. Their target is cereal-based food such as baked goods, pasta and breakfast cereals, widely consumed every day in our diets.
Bakery Products Market size was valued at USD 234.5 billion in 2022 and is estimated to witness over 4.4% CAGR from 2023 to 2032
Waste reduction, efficient use of brewer spent grain contributing to theme of circular economy
