Problem
The food and beverage industry generates millions of tons of by-products annually, such as Brewery Spent Grain (BSG), which are often discarded as waste, leading to environmental concerns and loss of valuable nutrients. These discarded by-products represent a significant untapped resource of proteins and fibers.
Solution
ProSeed offers modular processing technology that converts food industry by-products into high-quality ingredients, including protein concentrates and specialized flours. The company provides industrial food and beverage producers with on-site "ProSeed Units" that stabilize and refine by-products. The resulting ingredients can be used in various applications, such as bread, pasta, meat alternatives, and solid-state fermentation, optimized for each application's marketability. This approach reduces industrial food waste while supplying sustainable raw materials.
Target Audience
ProSeed targets food and beverage processing companies seeking to valorize their by-products and food manufacturers looking for sustainable raw materials.
