"The Barley Protein Brewing Story"

https://henkhoogenkamp.com/

Henk Hoogan,former RIBT BOD, and plant protein pioneer just got a new book out. One section is about "The Barley Protein Brewing Story"

Highlights>>>
The evolving plant protein and
fiber trend present challenges
and opportunities for the
processed meat industry. Even
though health and wellness in
processed meat products are not
really seen as trending, consumers
do pay attention and desire
traditional flavor and texture,
as well as keeping a clean &
natural label.

Barley, and especially barley-spent
grain, is emerging as a formidable
alternative to the current selections
of plant protein sources of soy
and pea. Beer-brewing companies
around the world have vast amounts
of barley-spent grain available
that otherwise will be sold as a
source of high-protein feedstock.

A Welcome Biodiverse
Protein

Protein is essential to proper
nutrition. Barley protein is a single
ingredient offering dual-function
solutions for improved nutritive
value and formulation challenges.
Barley protein is an excellent
source of essential amino acids,
and especially the branched-
chain amino acids (BCAAs) are
considered impressive. Barley protein
therefore compares favorably
to whey protein and, when blended
with whey protein and/or infused
with lysine of leucine, a DIAAS
of 1.00 can be reached.

Beer brewing removes the soluble
carbohydrates, hence most
insoluble nondigestible fiber
remains. These remaining fibers
are closely intertwined which
promotes good intestinal health
with little or no bloating and other
digestive problems. One of the
main advantages of barley-spent
grain is that most of the starch
component is already removed
during the beer brewing process.
This will greatly improve the
economics of scale. Barley-spent
grain has significant cost advantages
compared to soy and pea protein.

The younger generation of consumers
prefer food and beverage products
that are made with sustainable
ingredients that they recognize
and trust. The plantbased barley
grain has positive name and health
perceptions with all the ace-cards
to become trending in a diverse
range of applications such as
sausages, burgers as well as the
plant-based meat alternatives.
