INNOVATION IN PLANT-BASED FOOD INGREDIENTS

With growing consumption and
scarce natural resources,
the World needs bold changes
across the food value chain to
combat hunger, health and climate crisis.

We believe
plant-based & upcycled
proteins are the answer!

We drive innovation in
sustainbale food ingredients
to help manufacturers offer
better plant-based foods

Our journey started with developing yellow pea
ingredients with superior sensory profile.
Now we are tackling
more challanging raw material… BSG

Let’s meet. This is…
Brewers’ Spent Grain.
BSG.

byproduct
of the brewing industry.
Makes up 85%
of brewing waste.

1.9 million tons of
protein is wasted
globally from
underutilized BSG.

Annual worldwide BSG
output exceeds 32mm T.

In Europe we have over
7mm T of BSG per annum.

We have developed a proprietary
BSG protein production process
offering a product competitive to popular
plant-based proteins in a technology
feasible for industrial scale-up

Pre-treatment
Alkaline pre-treatment for biological
stabilization & softening
the molecular structure before extraction

Protein extraction
Extraction under specific conditions
to release proteins from
the lignocellulose structure

Separation & purification
Centrifugation and filtration
for solids removal into separate
protein solution from lignocellulose

Filtration & concentration
Membrane filtration removing
small molecules and increasing
protein concentration

Pasteurization & drying
Multi-step thermal & drying process
to convert liquid protein solution
into protein powder

BSG Protein Concentrate
No off-taste. Nutrient-rich. Sustainable
Novel food ingredient with unique properties

Taste
Umami
No off-taste

Protein content
75%

Raw material
100%
upcycled

BSG Protein can be applied in a wide variety
of plant-based applications across next-gen
food categories thanks to
favorable protein profile
and attractive taste

Cheese
Analogues
Sports
Nutrition
Pet food
& Animal Feed

Our Pea-Protein Solutions

High-Purity Pea Protein Concentrate Liquid
A gamechanger for liquid dairy alternatives

Unrivalled solubility and high-protein content makes our PP75L a perfect solution for plant-based beverages, desserts, yoghurts, ice creams, condiments,
coffee and other ready-to-drink applications
