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...

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,...

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 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...

Many different amphibian skin peptides have been characterized and proven to exert various biological actions, such as wound-healing, immunomodulatory, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects. In this work, the possible anti-steatotic effect of macrotympanain A1 (MA1) (FLPGLECVW), a skin peptide isolated from the Chinese...
