Abstract

ABSTRACT Fish processing waste amounts to around 50% and contains novel recoverable molecules like glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), health beneficial bioactive polysaccharide, and a nutraceutical. The present work aimed to formulate gelatin based gummies with added GAGs targeting obesity. Prepared formulations were sugar (S) and no added sugar (NAS), where sugar was replaced with maltitol. GAGs were supplemented at 0.5%, 1.5%, and 3% (w/w) in both. Storage studies (6 months, 25°C in RT) showed no significant changes in texture or sensory analysis and were microbiologically safe; GAGs were extractable up to 95%. Gummies with maltitol and GAGs at 1.5% were a suitable formulation as anti-obesity product.
