Method for extracting plant-based protein from spent coffee grounds using acid precipitation

This technology relates to a method for producing plant-based protein, which involves drying and defatting spent coffee grounds, then extracting protein with an alkaline solution, and finally precipitating and recovering it with an acidic solution.

Most spent coffee grounds are discarded, leading to resource waste and environmental problems, such as greenhouse gas emissions.

To address this, this technology extracts plant-based protein from discarded spent coffee grounds using acid precipitation, thereby utilizing it as a raw material for various food and cosmetic products and enhancing sustainability and resource reusability.

Key Features:
  • Drying and defatting of spent coffee grounds
  • Protein extraction using an alkaline solution
  • Protein precipitation and recovery via acidic solution treatment and centrifugation
  • Plant-based protein production based on waste resource recycling
