BUSINESS
Upcycles agrifood byproducts (e.g., brewers' spent grain) into protein concentrates, malt syrups, high-fiber flours, and fermentation feedstock. Terra Bioindustries uses a low-energy enzymatic process to upcycle brewer's spent grain (BSG) into two products: a barley protein concentrate (Protina) for food applications and fermentable sugars (Recyclose) for food manufacturers and precision fermentation companies.
BIOTECH INVOLVEMENT
The biotech adjacency is in providing low-cost fermentable sugar feedstock to precision fermentation companies as an alternative to refined dextrose, and in the enzymatic processing itself
TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM
biochemical separation and upcycling
PRIMARY PRODUCTS
TERRA Protina (barley protein); TERRA Malt (syrup); TERRA Fibra (fiber)
