Upcycled brewers by-products
CereX is specialized in the development of upcycled ingredients derived from the side streams of Royal Swinkels’ breweries. Upcycled brewers ingredients are, for example, brewers spent grains and brewers spent yeast. Our cutting-edge technologies allow us to reintegrate these ingredients back into the human food chain, marking the start of a circular transition in the food industry.
What we do?
As a family business it is our job to ensure that countless generations can enjoy everything we brew and build. We consider it our duty to contribute to a more beautiful world. This is why we are committed to a circular business model. This means that we will not let raw and other materials, as well as energy, go to waste. By reusing residues from the brewing process, we combat food waste.
Unlock nutrition
Today brewers spent grains and brewers spent yeast are used as feed for livestock, but these ingredients are full of essential proteins, fibers, minerals and vitamins which are incredibly beneficial for human health. Our innovative technologies focus on unlocking this untapped reservoir of nutrients.
Impact on CO2 emission with low footprint ingredient
Unique about our upcycled ingredients is that they are climate friendly and have a very low footprint. We don’t use land, water and CO2 to grow new barley, because we are using the left- over barley from the brewing process. By incorporating our ingredients into food applications, food producers are not just enhancing the nutritional value of your products, but also making a significant contribution to reducing your overall CO2 emissions.
Applications of our ingredients
Our nutrient-rich and sustainable ingredients open a world of possibilities. The applications are truly limitless. For instance, for spent grains, we have successfully tested this ingredient into a variety of products, from plant-based beverages and wholesome bread to vegetarian burgers. It is even possible to enrich your baking products with nutritional flour of brewers spent grains. Partner with us to create something innovative. We welcome your ideas and are eager to collaborate on new product developments. Get in touch with us to learn more about how we can work together.
