Preparation of bioactive peptides from marine industrial waste for moon cake preservation by coating

Abstract

Fish processing and handling operations lead to the generation of much waste, including viscera, scales, fins and bones, which poses a serious risk to the environment (Xavier et al., 2017). Global fish waste (FW) generation per year is around 75.24 megatons. (Shanthi et al., 2021). Exploring processes for producing food from FW will lead to more effective management of FW and help meet the goals of a circular bio-economy. Murthy et al. suggested that viscera from little tuna (Euthynnus affinis), catla (Catla catla), and tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) can be used to obtain a high value-added product, proteolytic enzymes, which would also reduce the amount of waste from the fishing industry (Murthy, Phadke, Unnikrishnan, 2018). Fish Marine bioactive peptides (FMBP) are peptides with specific physiological functions prepared by enzymatic digestion, separation and purification of protein raw materials (Guo et al., 2014).
