Abstract

Fish gelatin is an important alternative gelatin which can be considered as Halal and acceptable by all religions. It is made from fish by-products of which fish skin is the most widely used part. The collagen and gelatin-like property of fish bones and scales coupled with their readily availability make it a potential source for development into gelatin products. This review discusses the potentials for the development and utilization of fish bones and scales in the production of gelatins. It also looks at the raw materials, processes, properties and the improvement of fish gelatins for future commercial use. Key words: Gelatin, fish, bones, scales, extraction
