Abstract
A process for treating brewers spent grains for producing a high value protein product and a cellulosic residue, both from brewers spent grains that have not gone through fermentation. The high value protein product is useful as a protein supplement, or feed for livestock and poultry, and the cellulosic residue has value as a feedstock for a thermochemical process unit, such as for the production of a biofuel.
