#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking Bokashi fermentation is a process that involves anaerobic (without air) fermentation of organic waste using specific microorganisms. Here's a brief overview of the method: Container: Use an airtight container with a drainage system. Bokashi bins are commonly used for this purpose. Bokashi Bran: Sprinkle a layer of Bokashi bran (a mixture of bran, molasses, and effective microorganisms) over the first layer of organic waste. This introduces beneficial microbes that aid in fermentation. Layering: Add a layer of organic waste (vegetable scraps, fruit peels, etc.), then sprinkle another layer of Bokashi bran. Repeat this process until the container is full. Compact and Seal: After each layer, compact the waste to eliminate air pockets. Finally, seal the container tightly to create an anaerobic environment. Fermentation: Allow the waste to ferment for about two weeks. During this time, the microbes break down the organic matter, producing a fermented product. Drainage: If your container has a drainage system, drain off any liquid produced during fermentation. This liquid, known as Bokashi tea, is nutrient-rich and can be diluted and used as a liquid fertilizer. Post-Fermentation: After the fermentation period, the waste is not fully composted but can be buried in soil or added to a traditional compost bin. The fermentation process makes the waste more easily digestible for soil microorganisms. Bokashi fermentation is a quick and efficient way to recycle kitchen scraps, but it's important to follow the process closely for successful results.

💡 Upcycling of side streams! 🍺 About 39 million tonnes of brewers’ spent grains (BSG) are produced worldwide every year. BSG is very rich in proteins, energy and super healthy! 🍳 Now that new methods are available, upcycling of BSG into food is possible. This makes BSG a promising sustainable product that contributes to a circular agrifood economy. #Dietaryshift #proteintransition #alternativeproteins #plantforwarddiet #upcycling

🍺Revenue of the beer industry is declining with decreasing alcohol consumption 📉 but utilizing spent grain could be a new revenue source 📈as raw material for meat, dairy & other food alternatives as well as bio-plastics. GTF Technologies put together an interesting case study on their RENU™ Drying & Milling System which simultaneously dries and micronizes raw materials in seconds without extreme temperatures or natural gas use. This way waste turns to an asset. Application potential rangers from food ingredient to bio-plastic solution. Read more in the below case study.

“Just another day, unloading a truck filled with organic residues to kickstart their second life as valuable chemicals!” So this is where it all starts, full truckloads of organic residues from various sustainable suppliers such as Looop are unloaded, starting their journey through our unique fermentation process up to the point where they are converted into our short- and medium chain fatty acids. Ready for another life in an agrifood or material application. One of our key goals is to upcycle at least 50,000 of such trucks by 2030! #TurningChemistryCircular #fattyacids #partnerships #circulareconomy

Climate change has considerably affected agriculture, making harvests more unpredictable and the availability of products less than market needs. Price is the first factor to appear in the news and impact industries, however, availability should also be a concern. Will this get better? Remaining dependent on the agricultural market may not be the best strategy to adopt. Sensient wants to help customers overcome this problem in different ways. We present here our Cocoa Booster technology to maintain the indulgent taste even while reducing the amount of cocoa powder in your formulation. Challenge us! Let's work together to overcome this price increase and reduction in market availability.

6/6 The final pitch of the day was from Glen Turner Company Ltd / La Martiniquaise-Bardinet UK. Their Bathgate distillery consumes 65,000T of Maize cereal pa, producing 40,000T of high protein/fibre animal feed/Anaerobic digestion feedstock.  Glen Turner is looking at a new project to separate this into 3 products - a yeast enriched, Low Fibre Protein product, a High Fibre Protein product & Corn oil. Within the global sustainable economy, they are looking to find a better use for these products. Specialist animal feeds? Human food production? Bio-fuels? Something else? #CeeDTZone

✨ Solid-State Fermentation: The Eco-Friendly Magic! ✨   Did you know? Agricultural by-products like Mung bean shell, coffee grounds, soybean residue, and tea byproduct can be transformed into nutrient-rich animal feed through solid-state fermentation. Not only this process eliminate waste, but also reduces carbon footprint!   Solid-state fermentation utilizes microbes to convert organic matter from kitchen waste into animal feed. Compared to submerged-liquid fermentation, solid-state fermentation has the following advantages:   1. No waste generation: During solid-state fermentation, there is no production of wastewater or any byproduct, thus avoiding environmental pollution.   2.Lower carbon footprint: Solid-state fermentation requires lower energy consumption and generates no waste, so this way can reduced carbon footprint.   3. Nutrient-Rich: Solid-state fermentation can retain most of the nutrients in food waste, making it a valuable source of animal feed.   4. Enhanced feed digestibility: Solid-state fermentation enhances the structure and palatability of feed, thereby increasing animal digestibility.   5. Abundance of beneficial microbes: We cultivate medicinal fungi, functional fungi, and other beneficial microbes, creating eco-friendly products that promote health.   Converting food waste into feed not only reduces the amount of garbage but also saves feed costs, making it an environmentally friendly and economically beneficial circular economy model. #SolidStateFermentation #GreenMagic #SustainableSolutions #EcoFriendlyLiving #NourishingNature #WasteReduction #GreenRevolution
