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
