Commercialisation of flavour and fragrance products from food grade spent coffee grounds

Bio-Bean是世界上最大的废咖啡粉回收公司，目前每年处理约7500吨废咖啡粉。SCG是一个高容量的废物问题，仅在英国就超过50万吨。SCG含有多种有价值的残留化合物，目前正在我们的固体生物燃料产品(颗粒和成型块(咖啡原木))中燃烧。到目前为止，生物豆已经成功地从SCG中提取了风味和香味(F&F)化合物，以生产F&F概念验证产品。这些F&F产品是对固体生物燃料产品的补充，但在生产过程中使用的每吨SCG的销售价格要高得多，这意味着它们的商业化可以大幅提升Bio-Beans的盈利能力，使其能够进一步扩张，并有更多机会回收SCG。F&F产品很可能被用作食品饮料(F&B)行业(特别是即饮饮料市场)的配料，该行业正在增长，全球估计价值90亿美元。该项目使Bio-Bean能够完成将F&F产品商业化所需的后期研发。Bio-Bean将通过第三方收费公司生产其头两款F&F产品，一种基于水和脂类的天然香料，并将这些产品销售给其潜在客户(F&F公司、产品制造商和分销商)，表明市场对SCG颠覆性、可持续和创新产品的需求。规模化生产和市场的成功示范将使Bio-Bean能够投资于其在英国的F&F产品提取和加工厂，该工厂将与其固体生物燃料工厂一起选址，创造运营协同效应、就业机会、利润、节省二氧化碳并减少原始咖啡豆种植/石化合成的有害影响。

bio-bean is the world's largest spent coffee ground (SCG) recycling company, currently processing c.7,500 tonnes of SCG per annum. SCG is a high-volume waste problem in the order of over 500,000 tonnes in the UK alone. SCG contains a variety of valuable residual chemical compounds which are currently being combusted in our solid biofuel products (pellets and briquettes (Coffee Logs)). To date bio-bean has been successful in extracting the flavour and fragrance (F&F) compounds from the SCG to produce an F&F proof of concept product. These F&F products are complimentary to the solid biofuel products but have a considerably higher sales price per tonne of SCG used in their manufacture, meaning their commercialisation can give bio-bean a major profitability boost allowing further expansion and greater opportunities to recycle SCG. The F&F products are likely to be used as ingredients in the food beverage (F&B) sector (specifically the ready to drink beverage market) which is growing and estimated to be worth $9bn globally. The project enables bio-bean to complete the late stage R&D required to commercialise the F&F products. bio-bean will manufacture its first two F&F products, an aqueous and lipid based natural flavour, through third party tolling companies and sell these products to its potential customers (F&F houses, product manufacturers and distributors), demonstrating market demand for disruptive, sustainable and innovative products from SCG. Successful demonstration of scaled production and market will enable bio-bean to invest in its own F&F product extraction and processing plant in the UK, to be sited alongside its solid biofuel plant, creating operational synergies, jobs, profits, CO2e savings and a reduction in the harmful effects of virgin coffee bean farming/petrochemical synthesis.
