Abstract
The mismanagement of the fish processing industry has led to a lot of waste generation around the world, which contains a large amount of organic compounds. This massive amount of by-products is a major problem for both manufacturers and the environment. The exploitation of these by-products to produce functional biomolecule has become an essential demand. One of these biomolecules are collagen bioactive peptides derived from by-products. Many biological activities of peptides have been studied so far including antioxidant, antimicrobial, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, dipeptidyl-peptidase IV DPP-IV inhibitory, and etc. This study focuses on the main sources of collagen in fish by-products, the production of bioactive peptides from this collagen, and some biological activities of them.
Highlights
Fish industries are one of the most important factors affecting the economy of many countries around the world
A solution has to be found to prevent disposing of these by-products and they should be exploited as raw materials for the production of value added molecules, instead of being discarded Morales-Medina et al [2]
Fish by-products comprise a large amount of collagen, which is a value added row material for bioactive peptides
