Abstract
Fish by-products are excellent sources of collagen. Acid-soluble collagen (ASC) derived from a mixed by-product of different fish species was hydrolyzed to obtain peptide fractions and evaluate their biological and functional activities. All fractions obtained (F1: ≥30, F2: 10-30, F3: 5-10, F4: 1-5, and F5: ≤1kDa) exhibited antioxidant activity at concentrations of 5, 10, and 15mg/mL. However, F5 registered the highest reducing power (absorbance 0.366) and hydroxyl-radical-scavenging activity (91%) at 15mg/mL; whereas the highest DPPH scavenging activity (81%) was also detected in F5 at 5mg/mL. The solubility of F1, F2, and F3 was≥95% at pH 7. The highest foaming capacity (78%), foaming stability (60%), and emulsion stability index (42min) were registered for F1. However, the highest emulsifying activity index (130m2/g) was for F3. These results place collagen obtained from a mixed by-product of different fish species as a potential biotechnological alternative for the industry.
