Abstract
Marine fish provide a rich source of bioactive compounds such as proteins and peptides. The bioactive proteins and peptides derived from marine fish have gained enormous interest in nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmeceutical industries due to their broad spectrum of bioactivities, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-aging activities. Recently, the development of cosmeceuticals using marine fish-derived proteins and peptides obtained from chemical or enzymatical hydrolysis of fish processing by-products has increased rapidly owing to their activities in antioxidation and tissue regeneration. Marine fish-derived collagen has been utilized for the development of cosmeceutical products due to its abilities in skin repair and tissue regeneration. Marine fish-derived peptides have also been utilized for various cosmeceutical applications due to their antioxidant, antimicrobial, and matrix metalloproteinase inhibitory activities. In addition, marine fish-derived proteins and hydrolysates demonstrated efficient anti-photoaging activity. The present review highlights and presents an overview of the current status of the isolation and applications of marine fish-derived proteins and peptides. This review also demonstrates that marine fish-derived proteins and peptides have high potential for biocompatible and effective cosmeceuticals.
Highlights
Oceans cover about 70% of the earth’s surface and are inhabited by a large variety of living organisms
Several bioactive proteins and peptides were produced from marine fish via chemical or enzymatical hydrolysis and regarded as a safer option for the development of cosmeceutical products
The use of marine fish-derived proteins and peptides contribute to alleviating the environmental pollution caused by the waste generated by fish processing industries
Summary
Oceans cover about 70% of the earth’s surface and are inhabited by a large variety of living organisms. Marine fish is mostly used as a source of food for human consumption, which has resulted in several fish processing industries producing fish meat These industries discard huge amounts of waste containing fish skin and bones, which in turn aggravate the problem of environmental pollution. ACollagen has been extensively waste contains amounts of useful proteins, which represent source for bioactive peptide utilized for various applications, including cosmeceuticals [8], functional foods tissue mining. Marineusing fish enzymes, waste‐derived bioactive have the protein chains, are activated after[3,13,14,15] Their hydrolysis including trypsin,peptides proteinases, gained tremendous interest nutraceutical cosmeceutical industries due peptides to their have broad chymotrypsin, alcalase, and in pepsin [3,13,14,15].
