ST. LOUIS — EverGrain, the sustainable ingredient company created by AB InBev, is launching a scientific advisory board to discover the full potential of brewers’ spent grain and its benefits to people and the planet.
Brewers’ spent grain is the nutrient-rich byproduct of the beer brewing process that’s quickly becoming the new “it ingredient” in upcycled products. Five scientists from leading universities in food, nutrition and health, agriculture, and environmental sciences will advise and collaborate with the EverGrain R&D team to accelerate the use of the protein- and fiber-rich grains in foods and beverages.
The EverGrain Scientific Advisory Board (ESAB) members include:
The ESAB is led by EverGrain’s global head of R&D Steffen Münch and Harold Schmitz, Ph.D., ESAB chair and senior scholar in the Graduate School of Management at the University of California, Davis.
“We at EverGrain consider upcycled BSG as one of the most sustainable protein sources on Earth because it delivers high quality nutrition with a very low carbon impact,” Münch said. “Until now, BSG has gone to animal feed or simply been thrown away, so we are excited and privileged to team up with such talented scientists to increase the health and sustainability impact of this untapped super grain.”
