A comprehensive biorefinery process for valorising brewers' spent grains using conventional and deep eutectic solvents.
A holistic biorefinery concept integrating cell wall deconstruction, downstream separation and purification steps to convert brewers' spent grains (BSG) into high-value fractions was developed using alkali and deep eutectic solvents. Protein and arabinoxylan yields significantly increased with ultrasound (US) pretreatm...
