“…However enzymatic hydrolysis is preferred due to its faster reaction rates, mild conditions and high specificity (Hamada 1992; Lahl and Braun 1994). Application of enzyme technology in seafood processing, for protein recovery (PR) in fish processing, makes it possible to produce a broad spectrum of food ingredients, which include protein supplements, stabilizers in beverages, natural flavors (Alasalvar and others 2002), antimicrobial agent (Liu and others 2007), and a cardio‐protective nutrient (Wergedahl and others 2004). In industrial practice the hydrolysis in general is carried out in the batch form, using large vessels and takes a few hours.…”

“…Marine oils are derived from algal sources, body of fatty fish, liver of white lean fish and blubber or subcutaneous fat of marine mammals. These oils contain different levels of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC PUFA) belonging to the omega-3 family (Dyerberg et al, 1975;Bang et al, 1976). Although these fatty acids may be produced from their precursor alpha-linolenic acid, the rate of conversion is between 3% and 5% in healthy individuals.…”

“…Therefore, it is important to stabilize marine and algal oils during storage prior to consumption. Addition of crude green tea extract with known anticarcinogenic activity would help protect the LC PUFA, hence allowing realization of full advantage from their cardiovascular benefits (Alasalvar et al, 2002). However, crude extracts were found to enhance oxidation of both menhaden and seal blubber oils (Table 3).…”

Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention

The effect of dietary factors on health status has been recognized since antiquity. Although some of the dietary phytochemicals and bioactives have traditionally been considered as "antinutrients", their beneficial effects in human health promotion and disease prevention has recently been acknowledged. While nutraceuticals, sometimes referred to as natural health products, are often used in medicinal forms as tablets, capsules or liquid, functional foods are those that resemble the traditional food, as such, but confer benefits beyond their nutritional role. Among diseases of concern, cancer and coronary heart disease (CHD) are high on the list. In this respect, phenolics of plant origin, as an example, have been found to act as free radical scavengers, inhibitors of cholesterol oxidation and DNA breakage, among others, thus serving as potential cancer preventing agents. The type of phenolics involved depends on the species as well as other variables. On the other hand, marine foods have often been considered as "heart food" because of the role of their omega-3 fatty acid constituents in lowering of triacylglycerol and cholesterol levels and hence the incidence of CHD. This overview provides a detailed account of food phenolics and marine oils in human health and disease prevention.

“…The marine environment and its inhabitants are today recognized as an enormous reservoir of bioactive substances to be exploited for pharmaceutical and aquaculture applications, and as nutraceuticals as well [1,2,3,4]. Nonetheless, a number of anthropogenic activities have negatively affected marine ecosystems, inhibiting the derived services, and their precious bioactive resources as well [5,6,7,8].…”

A Multi-screening Evaluation of the Nutritional and Nutraceutical Potential of the Mediterranean Jellyfish Pelagia noctiluca

et al. 2019

The phylum Cnidaria is one of the most important contributors in providing abundance of bio- and chemodiversity. In this study, a comprehensive chemical investigation on the nutritional and nutraceutical properties of Mediterranean jellyfish Pelagia noctiluca was carried out. Also, compositional differences between male and female organisms, as well as between their main anatomical parts, namely bell and oral arms, were explored in an attempt to select the best potential sources of nutrients and/or nutraceuticals from jellyfish. With the exception of higher energy densities and total phenolic contents observed in females than males, no statistically significant differences related to the specimen’s sex were highlighted for the other compound classes. Rather, the distribution of the investigated chemical classes varied depending on the jellyfish’s body parts. In fact, crude proteins were more abundant in oral arms than bells; saturated fatty acids were more concentrated in bells than oral arms, whereas polyunsaturated fatty acids were distributed in the exact opposite way. On the other hand, major elements and trace elements demonstrated an opposite behavior, being the latter most accumulated in oral arms than bells. Additionally, important nutraceuticals, such as eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids, and antioxidant minerals, were determined. Overall, obtained data suggest the potential employment of the Mediterranean P. noctiluca for the development of natural aquafeed and food supplements.
