This session will focus on “Traditional Fermentation” refocused on generating novel, high-protein biomass, upcycling crushing and other grain co-product streams. It has been well recorded that fully 50% of the food produced is thrown away! While many see food-waste as a crisis, it is also a perfect opportunity for upcycling. A raft of new technologies (and some very old) driven by a start-up ecosystem want to repurpose food by-products into new food ingredients that help reduce food waste. We will cover novel approaches and technologies used to up-cycle brewing, crushing and other agricultural waste-streams.
