Responsibility
Pilot system recovers protein, lipids from fish byproducts
It is technologically feasible to recover functional muscle proteins and lipids from fish processing byproducts using isoelectric solubilization/precipitation.
Health & Welfare
Protein isolates recovered from processing could yield nutraceutical seafood products
Meat recovered from seafood processing byproducts could be combined with nutraceutical ingredients to form customizable seafood items.
Health & Welfare
E-beam treatments could improve seafood safety, shelf life
Electron beam treatment can inactivate pathogens in foods. E-beams could be applied to fish as a pasteurization/sterilization step without changing product temperature.
Responsibility
Protein, lipid recovery from fish-processing byproducts
West Virginia University developed a lipid and protein recovery process from byproducts that reduces disposal concerns in the process of fish processing.
