Recycling of high quality protein
Dregs, Beer and whiskey industry upcycling
Recycling of high-quality proteins from brewing or whiskey production, an approach to sustainability known as “organic upcycling”, represents an opportunity for the circular economy.
Bioconversion of these residues into fertilizers, their application in the production of animal feed, their use as a substrate for the production of bioethanol and biohydrogen, and their bioconversion into some important biopolymers or enzymes for other industries.
