PL77-VeBeer/VeBeer

Utilization of non-assorted vegetables in the production of functional low- and non-alcoholic beer beverages and food additives based on vegetable pomace as a by-product of the production process of these beverages

Description

production of low and non-alcoholic beer beverages with elevated antioxidant activity and natural food additives (flavor and aroma modifiers) from vegetable pomace

Sector

A1.1Growing of non-perennial crops

Needs/ Problem statement

a growing demand for lighter beers, including fruit radlers and shandy, or so-called beer-mixes, combinations of beer with juice or lemonade. There has also been a clear trend toward obtaining special-purpose/functional beers, including low-calorie, gluten-free, for diabetics, isotonic/hydrating, energy, and probiotic beers.

Objective

One of the most important goals of the project is to reduce the quantitative as well as qualitative losses of out-of-assortment fresh vegetables, which, together with fruit, have the largest share in generating food losses and wastage in Poland. The problem that will be solved as a result of the operation concerns the development of an integrated method of obtaining vegetable juices with increased antioxidant content, as well as new low/non-alcoholic vegetable beer beverages with their participation, and new food additives from pomace obtained by pressing the aforementioned juices.
