中文摘要
Lytigo制造了Baclyte,这是一种从废弃香蕉中提取的受专利保护的提取物,会让细菌和酵母疯狂。它将蒸馏器的最终产品产量提高了20%以上,并将酵母数量减半或减少了生产啤酒所需的时间。该项目将促进我们的Propgreater产品样品的生产(一种常见酵母培养基和Baclyte的5倍浓缩物),作为生产发酵添加之前处理酿造或蒸馏酵母的简单补充剂。这些样品随后将在5家英国蒸馏厂和5家英国酿酒厂进行全面试验,以确定我们在实验室规模使用Propgreater所看到的效果的可扩展性。成功的试验将导致Lytigo生成宝贵的最终用户验证数据,这些数据可用于增强我们的专利组合,并有望使我们从参与试验的公司获得第一个商业订单。我们预计,用户每购买20万GB的Baclyte香蕉,就能产生100万GB的利润--这个项目将有助于展示和量化这些经济效益,用于我们未来的Propgreater产品营销。废物和资源行动计划(WRAP)报告称,英国每天有140万根可食用香蕉被丢弃-这相当于8.3万吨可避免的垃圾。通过从这些废物中提取价值,并在减少这些废物的同时,我们将看到更少的材料进入垃圾填埋场。在不久的将来,我们预计将使用我们的Baclyte废香蕉提取物来提高厌氧消化的效率和速度-这是一种可持续的过程,通过产生绿色能源和减少有机垃圾填埋场废物来从废物生物质中获得价值。
英文摘要
Lytegro makes Baclyte - a patent-protected extract from waste bananas which sends bacteria and yeast crazy. It increases end product yield for distillers by over 20% and halves the amount of yeast or reduces the time needed to produce beer. This project will facilitate the production of samples of our Propagreater product (a 5x concentrate of a common yeast culture media and Baclyte) which is used as a simple supplement to treat brewing or distilling yeast prior to its addition to the production fermentation. These samples will then be trialled at full-scale by 5 UK distillers and 5 UK breweries to determine the scalability of the effects that we have seen with Propagreater at laboratory-scale.Successful trials will result in Lytegro generating precious end-user validation data which can be used to enhance our patent portfolio and will hopefully lead to us gaining our first commercial orders from the companies that are participating in our trials. We project that users can generate £1m profits for every £200k of Baclyte purchased - this project will help to demonstrate and quantify these economic benefits for future marketing of our Propagreater product.The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) reported that there are 1.4 million edible bananas thrown away daily in the UK - which accounts for 83,000 tonnes of avoidable waste. By extracting value from and in reducing this waste stream we will see less material go into landfill. In the near future we expect to be using our Baclyte waste banana extract to increase the efficiency and speed of anaerobic digestion - a sustainable process for deriving value from waste biomass by generating green energy and reducing organic landfill waste.
