Development of Bioactive Materials from Marine Processing Byproducts

About 100 million tons of fish are annually harvested in the world, of which 30% of the total catch is transformed into fish meal or discarded. Above 50% of the fish harvested for food is processing waste including offals, fins, skin, intestines, head, bone and so on, and not used as food. In the recent, some biologically active materials were identified and applicated to the useful materials for human utilization. The potential applications of proteins, lipids, chitin and minerals in marine bioprocessing leftovers as bioactive materials have increased the value of processing byproducts. In the present study, we have focused on the utilization of marine processing byproducts to screen bioactive materials and their potential applications.
