Extraction of Novel Bioactive Peptides from Fish Protein Hydrolysates by Enzymatic Reactions

Abstract

Bioactive peptides derived from fish the byproduct protein hydrolysate have wide potential as functional food ingredients. The preparation of bioactive peptides is commonly achieved via enzymatic hydrolysis; this is the most preferred method because it has high specificity, fewer residual organic solvents in the product, and it is usually carried out in mild conditions. The use of various enzymes such as proteases is widely practiced in the industry, yet there are various limitations as it is of high cost and there is a limited availability of food-grade enzymes in the market. Moreover, high-throughput purification and the identification analysis of these peptides are currently being studied to further understand the functionality and characterization of the bioactive peptides. This review mainly focuses on the novel bioactive peptides derived from fish protein hydrolysates from various fish wastes and byproducts. The hydrolysis conditions, source of hydrolysate, and amino acid sequence of these novel peptides are presented, along with their corresponding methods of analysis in purification and identification. The use of various enzymes yields novel peptides with potent bioactivities, such as antiproliferative, antimicrobial, antihypertensive, antiglycemic, antitumor, and antioxidative biological functions. The increasing interest in proteomics in marine and aquatic waste utilization continues due to these products’ bioactivity and sustainability.

Recent Advancements in the Valorization of Agro-Industrial Food Waste for the Production of Nanocellulose

“…Hydrogen bonds can be formed between the three free hydroxyl groups (OH) at the C-2, C-3 and C-6 atoms, which hold a crucial role in the crystalline packing (Figure 1). The solubility and other physical attributes of cellulose are controlled by intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding [3]. Irrespective of the type of LB, a polymeric chain of β-(1-4)-linkage and D-glucose commonly aggregates via Van der Waals interactions and inter/intra molecular hydrogen bonds in nanosized, thread-like assemblies, termed as microfibrils.…”

Antioxidant Potential of Bioactive Peptides Derived from Fish Waste: A Focus on Catla catla Liver and Intestinal Tissue

“…Fish protein hydrolysates (FPHs) are rich sources of bioactive peptides (BAPs), comprising small peptides containing 2-20 amino acids obtained through controlled hydrolysis (Ortizo et al, 2023). These peptides exhibit diverse bioactivities, making them valuable for developing nutraceuticals and supplements for human and animal consumption (Awuchi et al, 2022).…”

Bioprocess development for the production of xylooligosaccharide prebiotics from agro-industrial lignocellulosic waste

“…The drawbacks of these traditional pretreatment chemicals has necessitated the exploration of environment friendly and effective pretreatment agents [ 16 , 24 , 30 ]. The introduction of ‘green’ pretreatment methods such as those involving deep eutectic solvents (DESs), ionic liquids and organosolvs have created room for the development of economical lignocellulosic biorefineries [ 27 , [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] ]. Moreover, the low-cost physical pretreatments such as ultrasonic waves and microwave irradiations can be employed as assistive technologies with the chemical pretreatment methods to augment the effectiveness of the overall bioconversion process of LCB for the production of XOS.…”
