By-Product Utilization For Increased Profitability: Part III. Enzymatic, Chemical Production Of Fish Protein Hydrolysates

摘要

Fish protein hydrolysates obtained from fish-processing wastes can be used to make valuable ingredients for the food and healthcare industries. Hydrolysates are produced from fish muscle and viscera through an autolytic process by endogenous enzymes or an accelerated method using exogenous enzymes. Hydro lytic processes incorporating acids or alkaline chemicals are also used to make hydrolysates. Because the chemical processes are difficult to control, their hydrolysates may lack some of the properties that enzymatic reduction processes provide.
