Introduction: Environmental Impact: The beverage industry generates large amounts of food by- products, contributing to waste and sustainability challenges. Nutritional & Economic Value: Brewer’s spent yeast (BSY) and rice Okara (OA) are by- products rich in proteins, fibers and bioactive compounds, offering both health benefits and cost-effective opportunities. Contribution to a Sustainable Food System: The utilization of these by-products enhances resource efficiency and promotes the principles of a circular economy. Objective: This study aims to enhance the valorisation of BSY and OA by-products, converting them into high-quality ingredients for formulating protein-enriched snacks through a green and environmentally sustainable process.
