Abstract
Seafood processing generates a significant amount of waste, including heads, viscera, skin, bones and scales. Improper management of this waste can lead to environmental and public health hazards. However, fish viscera contain valuable materials such as Peptones, sterols, protein hydrolysate, oil, enzymes and protein, which are essential for producing biodiesel and other oleochemicals. The protein from fish viscera is particularly beneficial for protein concentrates, hydrolysates, peptones and bioactive peptides, all of which play a crucial role in food processing and product development. Therefore, the recycling of fish waste is essential. Due to its high protein content, fish waste can be used as a raw material for microbiological media, potentially reducing production costs. Peptone, a vital component of bacteriological media, can be obtained from fish waste through acid hydrolysis, alkali hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis.
