“Increasing Integration of Advanced Processing Technologies and Sustainability Practices”
- The global fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) market is experiencing a significant trend toward the integration of advanced processing technologies, particularly enzymatic hydrolysis, to enhance product quality and functionality
- These technologies enable precise breakdown of fish proteins into peptides and amino acids, improving bioavailability and nutritional profiles for various applications
- Advanced processing methods, such as enzymatic hydrolysis, allow for the production of high-quality hydrolysates with specific attributes such as enhanced solubility and bioactivity, catering to diverse industries
- For instance, companies are leveraging enzymatic hydrolysis to develop FPH for specialized applications, such as functional foods with antioxidant properties or pet food with improved digestibility
- The focus on sustainability is driving the use of fish by-products (heads, bones, and scales) in FPH production, aligning with circular economy principles and reducing waste in the seafood industry
- These advancements enhance the value proposition of FPH, making it more appealing to industries such as animal feed, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, while addressing consumer demand for sustainable and natural ingredients
