Due to the higher fish consumption, the consequent generation of side-streams by the fish supply chain (i.e., 'unwanted catches' and/or bones, fins, skin, viscera..) is increasing, significantly contributing to global food waste [1]. EcoeFISHent ("Demonstrable and replicable cluster implementing systemic solutions through multilevel circular...

This study is part of "EcoeFISHent"[1], a European Union's Horizon 2020 project (Innovation Action, Grant agreement ID: 101036428) concerning the valorization of fish side-streams for the development of nutraceutical and cosmetic products, starting from previously dehydrated biomasses. The crude biomasses, provided by Generale Conserve/As Do...

EcoeFISHent ("Demonstrable and replicable cluster implementing systemic solutions through multilevel circular value chains for eco-efficient valorization of fishing and fish industries side streams") è un progetto del Programma Horizon 2020 - Green Deal dedicato all'economia circolare nel settore della pesca, volto a conciliare sviluppo...

EcoeFISHent ("Demonstrable and replicable cluster implementing systemic solutions through multilevel circular value chains for eco-efficient valorization of fishing and fish industries side-streams") is a project of the Horizon 2020 Program - Green Deal (Innovation Action, Grant agreement ID: 101036428) dedicated to the circular economy in the...

Considering the global increase in fish consumption, the growing side-streams coming from the fish supply chain (e.g., skin, fins, tail, heads...), also including undersized or "unwanted catches", have been recently proposed as source of high-value bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides and fatty acids). In this case study, hydrolyzed collagen...

Ecoefishent ("Demonstrable and replicable cluster implementing systemic solutions through multilevel circular value chains for eco-efficient valorisation of fishing and fish industries side-streams") project goal is to deploy sustainable and efficient use of fish-processing side streams by obtaining bio-actives for high value added food...

Introduction This study, funded by the EcoeFISHent project [1], describes a scalable method for the extraction of valuable proteins, such as marine gelatin and Hydrolyzed Gelatin Peptides (HGPs), but also non-collagenous proteins, in order to define future applicationsin the food, packaging, and cosmetic industries. The process starts from...

Introduction The increase of side-streams generated by the fish supply chain represents a huge economic and environmental problem [1]. Since discarded by-products and co-products are potential sources of compounds of high added value, their valorisation is the aim of EcoeFISHent [2], a European Union's Horizon project (H2020-LC-GD-2020-3,...

Bud derivatives (BDs) represent a category of botanicals obtained by macerating the meristematic tissues (buds or young sprouts) of plants; widely used since ancient times in complementary medicine, they remain poorly investigated to date. In this study, a contribution is made toward the identification of the correct "a posteriori" attribution...

This study presents for the first time a scalable process for the extraction of valuable proteins starting from samples of unsorted mixed tuna scraps which were previously dehydrated by an industrial patented process. The aims of this work were both to avoid the onerous sorting step of tuna leftovers, which generally consists of isolating skin...

The enzymatic extraction of proteins from fish biomasses is being widely investigated. However, little or almost no research has paid attention to the exploitation of unsorted fishery biomasses. This work is part of a larger study, Part I of which has already been published, and focuses on an extensive characterization of two collagenous...

1. Introduction Metastable anions as nitrites, deriving from the oxidation of ammonia by agricultural pollution, sewage, decaying protein, and other nitrogen sources, are a recognized environmental issue, due to their role in eutrophication, surface and groundwater contamination, as well as toxicity towards almost all living creatures. Anyway,...

Water pollution from dyes is harmful to the environment, plants, animals, and humans and is one of the most widespread problems afflicting people throughout the world. Adsorption is a widely used method to remove contaminants derived from the textile industry, food colorants, printing, and cosmetic manufacturing from water. Here, aiming to...

The disposal of waste generated by the fish supply chain represents a big environment issue and has a significant economic impact [1]; in a view of a "zero waste" and circular economy, aim of this work is the utilization of industrial fish processing side streams to produce high value bioactive molecules with nutraceutical and cosmetic...

The aim of this research is to propose simple and scalable processes to obtain bioactive peptides extensively hydrolyzed starting from a tuna mixed biomass. The upcycling of this powdered biomass is challenging since it comes from the unsorted industrial side streams of the tuna canning process (cooked residues from fillet trimming) after a...
