Fish Protein Hydrolysate (Liquid form)
What is Fish protein hydrolysate?
Fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) is a fishery product containing a mixture of amino acids and peptides of various molecular size ranges. FPH is one of the most researched fishery products of the last decade.
Fish Protein Hydrolysate is an organic product.
The Process
After the usable portions of the fish are removed for human consumption, the remaining part of the fish body like guts, cartilage, scales, meat, etc., are put into water and grounded up.
Protein hydrolysates from fish processing discards can be prepared using four different processes namely acid process, alkali process, enzymatic process and microbial fermentation.
Our fish protein hydrolysate is prepared using an enzymatic process, which ensures that the maximum proteins are available in digestible form.
Properties & Uses
Protein hydrolysates or peptides present in the hydrolysate have been demonstrated to have antioxidant, anti-obesity, immune modulation, anti- coagulation, anti-microbial, anticancer and anti-hypertension etc.
Protein hydrolysates generated from fish proteins are good nutritional supplements as bioactive compounds and can be easily absorbed and utilized for various metabolic activities.
Fish hydrolysate can also serve as another beneficial protein nutritional supplement which can bring economic advantages for the food industry. It is used in dietetic foods, such as soufflés, meringues, macaroni or bread, and for the preparation of fish soup, fish paste, and shellfish analogues as flavoring compounds as a source of small peptides and amino acids.
Applications of Fish protein hydrolysate
- Improved nutritional value
