Distillery and brewery pulse-enriched by-product qualities

This research focuses on the role of pulses in enriching brewery and distillery by-products increasing their values in terms of nutrition, profitability and creating products for new markets.

By-products obtained from both lab scale investigations and commercial breweries and distilleries were analysed in regards to their nutritional value for animal feed including: -
1) Comparison of protein concentration and amino acid profiles of typical brewery and distillery by-products to those produced from pulses.
2) Investigation into the impact of distillery insoluble material removal timing on by-product quality.

Trials of separating and purification techniques were also conducted.
