The proteins are of exceptional quality, making it suitable for human consumption and to extend the shelf life of skincare products.

SINGAPORE: Researchers from Nanyang Technological University’s Food Science and Technology programme have devised a groundbreaking method that efficiently extracts over 80 per cent of the available protein in brewers’ spent grain , a common byproduct of beer brewing.

Annually, approximately 36.4 million tons of BSG are produced, often ending up in landfills or being incinerated, thus exacerbating greenhouse gas emissions. According to the researchers, these proteins are not only safe for human consumption but also of exceptional quality, rendering them suitable for direct use in supplements and as a means to augment the protein content of plant-based foods.The extraction process also holds promise in significantly reducing waste and carbon emissions associated with BSG disposal.
