Title: Utilization of Fish Waste as a Value-Added Ingredient: Sources and Bioactive Properties of Fish Protein Hydrolysate
Abstract: The fish processing industry generates more than 60% of fish waste material, including skin, heads, and viscera. This has a considerable impact on the environmental pollution and disposal problem, and these waste materials are low market value products such as fish meal and fish silage. These waste materials are a potential source of protein. Owing to utilizing fish waste material, fish protein hydrolysates (FPHs) are being prepared from several fish species by many researchers. FPHs are the breakdown product of enzymatic hydrolysis into smaller peptides contain 2–20 amino acids. Due to the vast amount of fish waste material generated and potential sources of high protein content with balanced amino acids, FPHs have a better alternative. Bioactive peptides obtained from fish waste material such as skin, fin, viscera, and scale with antioxidative properties may be a potential alternative for the synthetic antioxidants, which exhibit the potential benefits in human nutrition.
