BIOREFINERY OF BREWERY SPENT GRAIN BY SOLID-STATE FERMENTATION AND IONIC LIQUIDS

Novel environmentally friendly pretreatments have been developed in recent years to improve biomass fractionation.Solid-state fermentation (SSF) and treatment with ionic liquids show low environmental impact and can be used in biorefinery of biomass.In this work, these processes were assessed with brewery spent grain (BSG).First, BSG was used as a
