Abstract
Brewers’ spent grain (BSG), the solid waste of the brewing industry, is high in fibres, proteins and health-beneficial compounds such as polyphenols. This research investigated bioprocessing with enzymes and microbes to modify the properties of BSG for its utilisation as a food ingredient. Pre-treatment studies showed that wet milling performed better than dry milling, and heat and homogenisation either before or after the enzyme hydrolysis did not significantly influence the release of reducing sugars and free amino nitrogen (FAN). Four treatments were applied to wet-milled BSG: fermentation with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum POM1 with or without the enzyme Ondea pro and enzymatic bioprocessing without any fermentation. Control was the condition without enzyme and starter. Without the enzyme, there was negligible free sugar and FAN, and the starter had limited growth and organic acid production. Only the combination of enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation reached a pH of 4 and 10 mg/g DW lactic acid. The microbial preference for monosaccharides was evident, and the enzyme influenced the release of oligosaccharides that can have a prebiotic effect. Bioprocessing impacted the phenolic acid composition and microbial consumption, with a significant release of ferulic acid during enzyme hydrolysis.
期刊介绍:
Official Journal of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering:
Part C
FBP aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in the branches of engineering and science dedicated to the safe processing of biological products. It is the only journal to exploit the synergy between biotechnology, bioprocessing and food engineering.
Papers showing how research results can be used in engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in equipment or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of food and bioproducts processing.
The journal has a strong emphasis on the interface between engineering and food or bioproducts. Papers that are not likely to be published are those:
• Primarily concerned with food formulation
• That use experimental design techniques to obtain response surfaces but gain little insight from them
• That are empirical and ignore established mechanistic models, e.g., empirical drying curves
• That are primarily concerned about sensory evaluation and colour
• Concern the extraction, encapsulation and/or antioxidant activity of a specific biological material without providing insight that could be applied to a similar but different material,
• Containing only chemical analyses of biological materials.
