Brewer’s spent grain (BSG) is the main by-product of the beer brewing process. It has a huge potential as a feedstock for bio-based manufacturing processes to produce high-value bio-products, biofuels, and platform chemicals. For the valorisation of BSG in a biorefinery process, efficient fractionation and bio-conversion processes are required. The aim of our study was to develop a novel fractionation of BSG for the production of arabinose, arabino-xylooligomers, xylose, and bioethanol. A fractionation process including two-step acidic and enzymatic hydrolysis steps was investigated and optimised by a response surface methodology and a desirability function approach to fractionate the carbohydrate content of BSG. In the first acidic hydrolysis, high arabinose yield (76%) was achieved under the optimised conditions (90 °C, 1.85 w/w% sulphuric acid, 19.5 min) and an arabinose- and arabino-xylooligomer-rich supernatant was obtained. In the second acidic hydrolysis, the remaining xylan was solubilised (90% xylose yield) resulting in a xylose-rich hydrolysate. The last, enzymatic hydrolysis step resulted in a glucose-rich supernatant (46 g/L) under optimised conditions (15 w/w% solids loading, 0.04 g/g enzyme dosage). The glucose-rich fraction was successfully used for bioethanol production (72% ethanol yield by commercial baker’s yeast). The developed and optimised process offers an efficient way for the value-added utilisation of BSG. Based on the validated models, the amounts of the produced sugars, the composition of the sugar streams and solubilised oligo-saccharides are predictable and variable by changing the reaction conditions of the process.

Brazil, being one of the main beer producers, generates brewer’s spent grain as a main by-product of this industry, which is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses, lignin and extractives. The alkaline pretreatment of brewer’s spent grain received from two breweries is studied in this work, namely breweries Imperial (B1) and Colombina (B2). Factorial design (22) was realized with three experiments at the central point: contact time (30, 60, 90 min) and NaOH concentration (4%, 6%, 8%). It was found that the presence of extractives causes interference in the characterization of the material. The delignification process allowed obtaining materials with lower lignin percentages when higher NaOH concentrations were used, reaching percentages of lignin loss with values between 85-95%, in both materials, but for these conditions, the losses of cellulose were considerable – of 35-43%. Enzymatic hydrolysis of the pretreated materials achieved conversions greater than 70%, emphasizing that the greatest conversions were obtained with material B1, where almost the whole cellulose was hydrolyzed.

This work presents the simulation in Aspen Plusr of a process to obtain arabinoxylans (AX) from Brewer’s Spent Grain (BSG), which is the major byproduct of the brewing industry. The process is divided into two stages: alkaline pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis. These stages cover the extraction of proteins and AX from BSG using an alkaline pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of the AX separated from the liquid stream to obtain xylose, i.e. the substrate required for the fermentation to xylitol. Simulation results show that xylose obtained corresponds to 8,5% of the dry weight of the raw material, obtaining a yield of 58%. Several streams of byproducts were obtained, such as proteins, polypeptides, amino acids, phenolic compounds and lignocellulosic residues that can be valorized in other processes. Simulation was performed in the context of a biorefinery in Colombia.
