Abstract
The alcohol industry produces an immense number of edible byproducts, called pomaces and brewer’s spent grain, which are largely used as animal feed or wasted. This is unfortunate because regularly consuming these byproducts has been shown to have positive health outcomes. In this study, the byproducts were preserved and processed into powders and successfully incorporated into a food product with improved nutrition content compared to similar foods. A spoilage study was also conducted to verify the preservation technique. Overall, this study is a vital step towards showing that alcohol byproducts can be converted to palatable, nutrient-dense foods.
