This book was released on 2022-06-15 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive book brings together experts from both the marine science and pharmacy disciplines to relay important aspects on the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical values of 175 species of bony and cartilaginous fishes as well as the uses of fish processing byproducts and wastes.Presented in an easy-to-read style, the volume provides precise identification of freshwater and marine fishes possessing pharmaceutical and nutraceutical compounds along with over 180 photographs. Aspects covered include biology, ecology, diagnostic features, and pharmaceutical and nutraceutical compounds along with their activities for each of the fish included. The book details the bioactive compounds, including fish muscle proteins, peptides, collagen and gelatin, fish oil, etc., from such species, as well as the bioactive peptides that are derived from various fish muscle proteins, which have various biological activities, including cardio protective, antihypertensive, anticancer, anti-diabetic, antibacterial, anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities. Also discussed are the nutritional benefits of fish consumption, which are largely due to the presence of proteins, unsaturated essential fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins. The waste products obtained during fish processing are also a potential source of bioactive peptides that can be used as a source of nitrogen and amino acids, which have immunomodulatory, antibacterial, antitrombotic, and antihypertensive properties. This volume provides the information needed to tap into these vast pharmaceutical and nutraceutical benefits. Pharmaceuticals and Nutraceuticals from Fish and Fish Wastes will be of great use for students and researchers of disciplines such as pharmaceutical sciences, marine/fisheries sciences, marine microbiology, and marine biotechnology. It will also be a standard reference for libraries of colleges and universities and a guide for pharmaceutical companies involved in the development of new drugs from fishes and their wastes.

Download or read book Utilization of Fish Waste written by Raul Perez Galvez and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shortage of marine resources calls for the implementation of new technological processes for providing a better utilization of waste and by-products from fisheries and fish processing activities. Most of these by-products are currently used as raw materials for animal feed. It is estimated that their utilization in human foodstuffs, nutraceuticals, pharmacy, or cosmetics would increase their value fivefold. This book discusses the opportunities for upgrading these materials by means of basic technologies such as hydrolysis, membrane ultrafiltration, and better handling techniques.

Download or read book Marine Oils written by Ioannis Zabetakis and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the fish we eat, fish that not only sustains us but also provides us with pleasure and well-being. Fish is also a valuable source of nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals. We follow a holistic approach in this book viewing fish in its entirety from the food that fish need in order to grow to the pharmaceutical applications of fish oil. 2014 is a historic year, it is the first year in human history where the amount of fish we consume from aquaculture will surpass that from the wild. As it seems that aquaculture will play a vital role in the future feeding of mankind, it should be considered imperative that it be done in a responsible and sustainable way. Food security is both the top political and scientific priority today. With this book, we try to provoke some thoughts as to how fish is produced, how it is valourised and what could be done in the future. We address within this book the issue of resource management, fish nutritional requirements, aquatic food security, nutritional value of marine oils and fish themselves as well as to how we can further exploit marine oil usage in the production of nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals.

Download or read book Added Value Of Fisheries Waste written by Jean-Pascal Berge and published by . This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the recent FAO report on by-catch and discards, the weighted discard rate of fisheries is estimated at 8% and the yearly average discards are estimated to be 7.3 million tons that are directly thrown to the seas. They are constituted by non targeted species and by residues due to fish transformation on-board. After landing, this wide variety of marine species of animals is converted into seafood. Of those animals, only a portion is usually separated from the carcass and used as food. The remainder is by-product, often rich in protein, which can (should!) be processed into useful products. By-products from fisheries, included fish farming consist of viscera (liver, roe, stomachs, etc.), heads, backbones, trimmings and rejected fish from processing. These by-products are generated when the fish is headed, gutted and further processed. The raw materials that come from traditional fisheries and aquaculture can be regarded as a great and valuable source of proteins both for animal and human nutrition. Today most of the by-products are used as raw materials for feed production; such as fish meal, fish sauce, fish silage and feed for animals. However, as presented in this book, promising opportunities exist for upgrading marine by-products and underutilized fish by using mild processing techniques to convert them into protein and peptide ingredients both to improve yield in traditional seafood and to be used as nutraceuticals or in functional foods. Many mild techniques like pH shift, fermentation, enzymatic hydrolysis, filtration, centrifugation and spray and freeze drying can be used in the processing and production of valuable products. Indeed, it is estimated that if we succeed to utilize more of the by-products as food for humans and as ingredients in foodstuff, health foods, nutraceuticals, pharmacy, cosmetics etc., the value adding may increase by 5 folds. However, adequate handling and pre-treatment practices for discards and wastes both on board and on shore (auctions) including separation, classification, stabilization and conservation are required in order to preserve valuable components and to allow further added value. Some examples of processes (enzymatic hydrolysis, membrane filtration, centrifugation,&), products (proteins, peptides, lipids, aroma,&) and applications for those resulting products (feed, food, functional food, nutraceutical, health,&) are given into this book but many others exist. Indeed, it is reasonable to expect that innovation will continue and will help industry to turn waste into by-products and by-products into products. Can we imagine that considering wastes as resources will solve the problem of wastes and will preserve the resources? A unique feature of the current book is that it brings together, in one place, information of the entire field of marine by-products soft-processing and utilization. We have incorporated new and updated information throughout this book. This book will be useful for anyone interested in marine by-product soft-processes or marine by-product utilization, individual interested in recycling and those interested in a sustainable example of reutilization of valuable material. Careful consideration was given to selecting the contributors of this book. The authors were all belonging to the network SEApro (Sustainable Exploitation of Aquatic PROducts, www.seapro.fr) dedicated to the fisheries wastes upgrading for promoting a total utilization of the fish in order to be in accordance with international trends in development of sustainable fisheries. Authors are all recognized as experts in their respective areas. I would like to thank all the contributors for their hard work and tolerance for my sometimes severe demands. Experts have refereed all papers and I wish to express my gratitude for their referee work.
