The extraction of prebiotic from spent coffee grounds

Spent coffee grounds (SCG) are a byproduct of the coffee brewing process, and their quantity continues to increase due to the growing global coffee consumption. SCG contain beneficial compounds such as polysaccharides, dietary fibers, and antioxidants, which can be utilized in various applications, including prebiotic extraction. This study focuses on extracting prebiotics from SCG using acid hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis methods to evaluate their potential in promoting the growth of beneficial gut microorganisms. The expected results of this research include adding value to coffee industry waste, reducing organic waste, and providing a sustainable approach to developing prebiotic products for use in the food and health industries. Furthermore, this study aligns with sustainable resource utilization and environmentally friendly practices.

Development of synbiotic tepache for health

Tepache is a traditional Mexican fermented beverage commonly made using pineapple peels, which naturally contain sugars and the enzyme bromelain. These components contribute to its distinctive aroma and unique flavor. This project aims to develop a health-enhancing tepache by fermenting pineapple peels with probiotic yeast and lactic acid bacteria. Additionally, prebiotics, including inulin and xylo-oligosaccharides, are incorporated as nutrients to support probiotic growth. The resulting synbiotic tepache promotes gut microbiota balance, exhibits antioxidant properties, and enhances the immune system, making it a functional and beneficial beverage for consumers.
