Abstract:
A process of extracting or purifying proteinaceous material and/or fibraceous material from brewer's spent grain (BSG), the process comprising the steps of: Providing brewer's spent grain; Performing saccharification by enzymatic treatment of the brewer's spent grain and a fermentation of the saccharified brewer's spent grain with lactic acid bacteria and/or acetic acid bacteria and/or probiotics to obtain a fermented broth; and extracting and/or purifying proteinaceous and/or fibraceous material from the fermented BSG.
Abstract:
A method of producing fermented liquor; whereby the alcohol fermentation broth is treated with a multistage filtration process including a reverse osmosis filtration whereby the purine in the fermentation broth is reduced to a concentration less than 1.0 ppm.

Abstract:
A method for preparing beer concentrate, comprising the steps of: a) Subjecting beer (1) to a first concentration step comprising nanofiltration (A) or reverse osmosis to obtain a retentate (2) and a fraction comprising alcohol and volatile flavour components (3), wherein the retentate (2) is characterised by the concentration of unfilterable compounds to or higher than 20% (w/w), preferably 30% (w/w), most preferably 40% (w/w), as calculated from density measurement corrected for the alcohol amount; b) Subjecting the fraction comprising alcohol and volatile flavour components to a next concentration step (B) comprising freeze concentration, fractionation, preferably being distillation, or reverse osmosis, to obtain a concentrated fraction comprising alcohol and volatile flavour components (4), and a leftover fraction (5); c) Subjecting the leftover fraction (5) of the next concentration step (B) to a fractionation, preferably being distillation, an adsorption or a freeze concentration to obtain a second fraction comprising alcohol and volatile flavour components and a second leftover fraction..
Abstract:
A process for preparing a beverage or beverage component, the process comprising an enzymatic treatment of brewer's spent grain including addition of one or a combination of enzymes with alpha-amylase, gluco-amylase, cellulase, xylanase, protease and/or beta-glucanase activitiy and fermentation by a strain of lactic acid bacteria, the combination of enzymes and enzymatic treatment conditions are such that: • said lactic acid bacteria produces 4.5 g/L lactic acid and metabolises sugar such that the resulting fermented broth contains less than 2.5% w/w, preferably less than 0.5% w/w residual sugar; or • said lactic acid bacteria produces 4.5 g/L lactic acid and metabolises sugar such that the resulting fermented broth contains at least 2.5% w/w residual sugar.
Abstract:
A process for preparing a beverage or beverage component comprising the steps of: - Providing brewer's spent grain; - Performing a saccharification by enzymatic treatment of the brewer's spent grain and a fermentation of the sacchahrified brewer's spent grain with lactic acid bacteria and/or acetic acid bacteria and/or probiotics to obtain a fermented broth; and - filtering the fermented broth and collecting the permeate to obtain the beverage or beverage component; or homogenizing the fermented broth to obtain the beverage or beverage component.
Abstract:
A process of preparing a malt-based beverage, said method comprising the steps of: - fermenting a wort to obtain a fermented malt-based beverage to achieve a original extract level A in a range of 10°PI-20°PI; - concentrating said fermented malt-based beverage by removal of water therefrom to obtain a concentrated malt-based beverage; characterized in that the concentrated malt-based beverage is diluted for consumption by addition of water or a water based diluent to an extract level B higher than A.
Abstract:
Beverage dispensing apparatus comprising a container containing a beverage, and further comprising a dispensing tube composed of three sections: (A) A cartridge (1) formed by a frame (1F) defining a perimeter of an inner area and supporting in said inner area a channel (1C) forming a serpentine; (B) An upstream dispensing tube section (3U) fluidly connecting the interior of the container to an inlet of the channel; (C) A downstream dispensing tube section (3D) fluidly connecting an outlet of the channel to a tapping valve (9V), (D) A beverage dispensing appliance provided with a cooling unit comprising a first and second cooling plates (2P) separated from one another by a distance defining an insertion slot (2S), wherein the distance separating the first from the second cooling plates can be varied, • from a loading distance, d0, allowing the introduction of the cartridge into the slot, • to a cooling distance, dc
Abstract:
