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...

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,...

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...

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...

This review provides a general overview of collagen structure, biosynthesis, and biological properties, with a particular focus on marine collagen sources, especially fisheries discards and by-catches. Additionally, well-documented applications of collagen are presented, with special emphasis not only on its final use but also on the processes...
