Abstract

Trub is one of the main solid wastes generated during beer production. This by-product is rich in macro and micronutrients, especially substances with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and emollient properties, which have high commercial value in the cosmetics sector. This article aims to investigate its potential through technological prospecting based on patent filings using the Brazilian National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) and Espacenet as a database. The results obtained demonstrate that trub can have several applications, especially in the development of new products in the food industry (human and animal) and in the recovery of substances with interesting biological properties. This study showed that trub represents a valuable raw material with recognized antioxidant and antibacterial action, to being a potential source of organic substances and bioactive compounds of high interest, suggesting the possibility of using this by-product in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
