The large amount of agroindustrial wastes produced annually is an important problem in much of the world, mainly due to two factors: an increase in food demand, which requires an increase in production, and the establishment of new environmental regulations that require industries to treat their wastes. On the other hand, the growth of environmental awareness, the use of green technologies, and the recognition of some agro-industrial waste as by-products with nutritional value has motivated researchers to focus on adding value to these by-products. In recent years, research works have been conducted to study the wastes generated during brewing, and how to convert those by-products into useful products with added value. This review will address the feasibility of transforming brewing industry wastes into value-added products to ensure the sustainable reuse of the biological resources, with a focus on protein recovery.
