Summary: Brewer's spent grain (BSG) is a byproduct of the brewing industry rich in fiber and protein, containing bioactive compounds known for their antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory properties. Different extracts from BSG showed varying levels of inhibition on glucose metabolism enzymes, with solid-liquid extraction using 60% acetone demonstrating stronger inhibitory potential. Further research is needed to identify the bioactive compounds within BSG extracts for potential use as inhibitors of glucose metabolism enzymes.

Summary: The accumulation of petroleum-based plastics necessitates the search for biodegradable packaging materials. Brewer's spent grain, a by-product of beer production in Europe, has potential value in the food packaging sector due to its high biomaterial content and large annual generation. This study comprehensively examines the extraction of high-value products from brewer's spent grain using various biorefinery techniques and evaluates the potential of biodegradable films and coatings derived from brewer's spent grain for food packaging. Techno-economic factors, environmental impacts, and challenges are also assessed. The best biorefinery system requires a balance between extraction efficiency, energy consumption, environmental impact, upscaling feasibility, and operating cost. Cellulose, lignin, xylitol, and arabinoxylan are recommended as promising components for food packaging applications.

Summary: Plastic waste is difficult to recycle or decompose, prompting the need for sustainable alternatives. This study developed a biobased edible bowl/cake mold using natural ingredients, which showed reduced water absorption, oil absorption, and excellent antioxidant activity when fortified with brewer's spent grain. Additionally, the developed mold demonstrated biodegradability in soil degradation tests.

Summary: The study proposes an environmental-friendly method using Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) to recover lignin from Brewer's spent grain (BSG) and Olive tree pruning (OTP). Experimental designs were carried out to determine the optimal conditions for lignin extraction based on yield and antioxidant activity. Results showed that DES is a promising solvent for successfully extracting lignins from OTP and BSG biomasses with high purities and valuable properties.

Summary: Brewing practice involves reusing the same yeast for subsequent fermentations. The yeast used for Lager beer (Saccharomyces pastorianus) is widely reused without changes in fermentation performance. However, the yeast used for Ale beer (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is either partially or not reused due to poor performance. The study found that cells modulate their wall polysaccharides to increase cell wall strength.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the feasibility of brewer's spent yeast (BSY) microcapsules as oral carriers for food and biomedical applications. The results demonstrate that BSY microcapsules have strong resistance to digestion and are rich in (beta 1 -> 3)-glucans, which can be recognized by the human Dectin-1 immune receptor. Additionally, the digested material is recognized by various lectins related to (beta 1 -> 3)-glucans, glycogen, and mannans.
