Revalorisation of brewer's spent grain for biotechnological production of hydrogen with <i>Escherichia coli</i>.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Agro-industrial wastes are generated in huge amounts triggering damages to the environment and human health. Therefore, there is an urgent necessity for its revalorisation into high-value compounds, including biofuels. One such wastes is the brewer's spent grain (BSG), a by-product of the beer industry, which is produced in vast quantities worldwide. The rich-fibre and protein content of BSG makes this waste a valuable resource for biotechnological applications, although the main challenge of this approach is to make the carbohydrates and proteins available for bacterial metabolisation into high-value products. This work aims to optimise a thermal-hydrolysis process to revalorise BSG by bacterial conversion into hydrogen (H₂), as a clean energy that can repl
