Spent yeast is a natural by-product generated through the production of fermentable beverages. To effect resource efficiency, as much secondary yeast as possible is reused internally; excess ''spent'' yeast must be disposed of. Traditional markets for spent yeast are declining creating a growing environmental and commercial problem for the UK brewing industry. Scottish & Newcastle plc is the UK''s largest brewer producing 25,000 tonnes of spent yeast per annum. The company wishes to maximise the sustainability of its products and is seeking a new, added-value conversion process for spent yeast slurry. This project aims to test the technical and commercial feasibility of utilising an advanced extraction technology to enable total transformation of spent yeast into high and medium added-value nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products for The Boots Company plc. This process could be applied to 80,000+ tonnes of plant-based organic waste materials.

废酵母是可发酵饮料生产过程中产生的天然副产品。为了实现资源效率，尽可能多的二次酵母在内部重复使用；多余的“用过的”酵母必须被处理掉。废酵母的传统市场正在衰退，给英国啤酒业带来了日益严重的环境和商业问题。 Scottish & Newcastle plc 是英国最大的啤酒生产商，每年生产 25,000 吨废酵母。该公司希望最大限度地提高其产品的可持续性，并正在寻求一种新的、增值的废酵母浆转化工艺。该项目旨在测试利用先进提取技术将废酵母完全转化为 The Boots Company plc 的高附加值和中等附加值营养保健品和药品的技术和商业可行性。该工艺可应用于 80,000 多吨植物基有机废料。
