Abstract
Wet brewer’s spent grain (WBSG) is the extracted residue remaining after the
grains have been fermented during beer making process. The fatty acids composition of feed
was estimated by gas chromatography. The fatty acids profile of wet brewer’s spent grain
was found to contain 28.41 ± 0.30 per cent SFA and the MUFA and PUFA contents were
15.10 ± 0.25 and 55.92 ± 0.19 per cent, respectively. The PUFA: SFA ratio was found to be
1.97 ± 0.02. These unsaturated fatty acids increased the absorption of PUFA, n3, and n6 fatty
acids in the intestine and accumulation in the muscles.
