Abstract: The present disclosure provides processes for the production of protein and fibre compositions from brewer's spent grain. The process comprises micronising dried brewer's spent grain using a pin mill and fractionating the micronised brewer's spent grain using an air classifier. The present disclosure also provides protein and fibre compositions, processes for producing food products incorporating the protein or fibre compositions, and food products comprising the protein or fibre compositions.

Abstract: A process processing fresh brewer's spent grains (BSG), the process comprising the steps of: Producing a mash comprising barley malt; Separating the mash from BSG; Collecting the BSG; Microbiologically stabilizing the collected BSG; drying said BSG; and powdering said dried BSG.

Abstract: A gateway and method are disclosed for connecting a data source system to an IT system, having real-time capable middleware and non-real-time capable middleware on a common operating system. An application for communicating via a network protocol is executed on the non-real-time capable middleware which comprises a framework, at least one hardware interface via which the data source system is connected to the real-time capable middleware, at least one hardware interface via which the IT system is connected to the non-real-time capable middleware, and a software interface configured to allow communication between the real-time capable middleware and the non-real-time capable middleware. The gateway is configured to provide, via the framework, predefined software interfaces for individual components of the data source system, which components can be connected to the real-time capable middleware, or for components of the IT system.
