July 10, 2013
Kreienbrink, who has more than 25 years of experience in the food sciences industry, is BI’s second employee to receive this designation.
A university food scientist has developed a process that turns coarse golden by-product of ethanol production also known as distillers' dried grain (DDG) into a food-grade ingredient.
The magic of food science takes an essential energy source like ribose and transforms it into a delicacy like Dark Chocolate Trim Truffles or Cinnamon Power Bread. While it might seem like wizardry, the secret is hard work and dedication by a company like Bioenergy Life Science, Inc. that for decades has studied to understand and harness one of the basic building blocks of life for the benefit of human health.
The industry's growth and innovation is inherently tied to university food science departments, which are being particularly hard hit in tough economic times.
