Download or read book Pharmaceuticals and Nutraceuticals from Fish and Fish Wastes written by Ramasamy Santhanam and published by CRC Press. 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 Seafood Processing By Products written by Se-Kwon Kim and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seafood processing industry produces a large amount of by-products that usually consist of bioactive materials such as proteins, enzymes, fatty acids, and biopolymers. These by-products are often underutilized or wasted, even though they have been shown to have biotechnological, nutritional, pharmaceutical, and biomedical applications. For example, by-products derived from crustaceans and algae have been successfully applied in place of collagen and gelatin in food, cosmetics, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. Divided into four parts and consisting of twenty-seven chapters, this book discusses seafood by-product development, isolation, and characterization, and demonstrates the importance of seafood by-products for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and biomedical industries.

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.
