Fermentation Process Co-Products: Integrated protein, energy and feedstock recovery

Summary: This project aims to address issues associated with by-product and energy inefficiencies within the fermentation process sector by developing new added value protein products for aquaculture and animal feed, increasing energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions.

My presentation will include an overview of the whisky production process and its co-products, focusing on its compositions, volumes, treatment technologies and novel opportunities, which include aquaculture feeds. Sustainability and economical issues of two of the most important Scottish Industries (whisky and aquaculture) will be also discussed. Finally, our experimental work so far and future plans will be described.
