Brewer’s spent grain (BSG) is a nitrogen and fiber rich waste generated in high volumes in beer manufacturing. Here we have investigated the use of fermentation for value addition to this waste material. In this study we use solid-state fermentation (SSF) using food grade Rhizopus oligosporus to enh...
