Collagen For The World
NMP supplies dried fish scales as raw material to collagen peptide producers globally and also specializes in production of Ossein and Collagen peptide due to it’s ability to source collagen raw materials abundantly. We offer:1) Dried fish scales and fish skin raw materials
2) De-mineralized fish scales (Ossein)
3) Collagen peptide (Brand:IKIGEN)
Best Out Of Waste and Consciously Sustainable Practices
NMP creates ‘Best out of Waste’ by up-cycling tons of fish scales and skin, which otherwise were a concern for fish processing industries. Collagen peptide derived from scales and skin of fish has better bioavailability. Marine collagen doesn’t pose any health scares like bird flu, foot and mouth disease.
NMP works in tandem with the new world order of ‘Consciously Sustainable Practices’ while undertaking the processes of making OSSEIN out of fish scales or deriving collagen peptide out of the fish scales/skin or from ossein.
Shrimp head and shells
A shrimp is a small shellfish with hard shell-like covering called an exoskeleton that protects them. Shrimps are consumed worldwide. With higher consumption, the amount of waste (leftover) has also increased.Shrimp has only 50% meat and rest 50% is discarded as shells, head and tail. With an increased consumption and processing of shrimps comes the problem of managing the waste. India alone generates 150,000 tons of shrimp waste per annum.
So managing the huge amount of waste (shrimp lefover) has became need of the hour. Waste management experts and researchers hit upon a possible potentiality of shrimp waste into valuable products, mainly bioactive compounds like chitin, chitosan, glucosamine, astaxanthin, amino acids and fatty acids etc.
These bioactive compounds have a wide range of applications including medical therapies, healthcare, cosmetics, paper pulp, textile industry, biotechnology and food applications.
Socio-Economic Impact
Fishermen who cultivate Rohu, Catla and Carp fish in fresh water usually sell the fish but discard the scales haphazardly, thus causing smelly litter as they are not aware of the potential of ‘up-cycling’ this waste!
NMP has assured business generation for the fishermen community in India and today it works in tandem with governmental aquaculture organizations.
NMP has helped generate thousands of jobs. Removing scales from the fish and drying them has opened a new avenue for earning money for many people.
It has also indirectly impacted the National Cleanliness Mission – ‘Swacchhata Abhiyaan’ started by honourable Prime Minister of India and ‘The Blue Revolution’.
