“…Shrimp processing results in the disposal and discharge of more than 500,000 t of shrimp-head waste each year. Furthermore, numerous low-MW peptides derived from food proteins exhibit certain bioactivities, such as antioxidant, antihypertensive, immunoregulatory, and anticancer activities (Ambigaipalan & Shahidi, 2017;Chalamaiah, Yu, & Wu, 2018;Erdmann, Grosser, & Schipporeit, 2006). Shrimp-head waste is a rich source of chitin (Sjaifullah & Santoso, 2016), proteins, peptides, nutritive components (Cahú et al, 2012;Cao et al, 2009;Yuan, Li, Pan, Wang, & Chen, 2018), and enzymes (Heu, Kim, Shahidi, & Jeong, 2003;Shahidi & Synowiecki, 1991).…”
