    Study Notes

    Seafood Processing and Waste Generation

    • Seafood industry generates large volumes of waste, including processing discards, effluents, and by-catch.
    • Processing discards consist of shell, head, bones, intestine, fin, skin, and low-value underutilized fish.
    • By-catch refers to the portion of the total harvest not adequately used as food due to unattractive color, smaller size, and high fat content.

    Characteristics of Seafood Waste

    • Solid waste constitutes 50% of whole shellfish, such as shrimp, krill, and crab.
    • Shrimp waste contains about 70% head and 30% shell.
    • Lobster processing generates 50-70% of the shellfish as by-products, including heads, shells, livers, and eggs.
    • Finfish processing generates 25-50% of the raw material as waste.

    Nutrient Loss and Environmental Impacts

    • Seafood waste is rich in nutrients, including proteins, amino acids, lipids, carotenoids, and minerals.
    • Loss of nutrients in seafood waste is estimated to be around 208 billion grams of protein and 1.8 trillion milligrams of n-3 PUFA per year.
    • Environmental impacts of seafood waste include ocean dumping, reduced oxygen levels, burial or smothering of living organisms, and introduction of disease to the ecosystem.

    Measures for Sustainable Seafood Processing

    • Improve waste utilization to prevent or minimize environmental impact.
    • Implement selective trawling to reduce by-catches.
    • Treat wastes and effluents to reduce environmental hazards.
    • Valorize wastes by recovering useful ingredients.

    Conventional Processes for Waste Valorization and Their Limitations

    • Conventional processes for valorization of seafood discards and effluents are based on chemical and physical methods.
    • These processes have limitations, including:
      • Alkali treatment causes hydrolysis of chitin and partial deacetylation of chitin.
      • Chemical refining of fish oil can cause oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids.
      • Large volumes of fresh water are required for washing and processing.

    Biological Processes for Valorization

    • Biological processes offer a green and sustainable approach to valorize seafood waste.
    • Bioconversion reactions, including microbial fermentation and enzymatic processes, can be used to detach food components from their matrices.
    • Algal biotechnology and bio-refinery approaches can be used to recover valuable ingredients and biofuels.
    • Biological processes have minimal environmental impacts, are cost-effective, and are safe.### Algae-Induced Biotransformations
    • Help in the treatment of wastewater and production of nutrient-rich biomass
    • Biophysical processes like pH and temperature modifications can favor the release of components like proteins and lipids from food matrices

    Microbe-Mediated Bioconversions

    • Also known as fermentation, which is safe, environmentally friendly, and energy-efficient
    • Process uses live microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, mycelium, or microalgae) to convert raw materials into products with desired qualities
    • Types of fermentation: traditional, biomass, and precision fermentation
    • Fermentation can be used to produce cell mass, enzymes, flavors, food additives, and other high-value products
    • Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been used for a long time for the development of fermented fishery products
    • Fermentation can bring about diversity into foods, make otherwise inedible foods products edible, enhance nutritional value, decrease toxicity, preserve food, and decrease cooking time and energy requirements

    Microbe-Assisted Bioconversions

    • Ideal for bioremediation of seafood processing waste and production of aquafeed and fertilizer
    • Fermentation of fish by-products gives rise to quality protein hydrolysates and oil, and produces antioxidant compounds
    • Solid-state fermentation can convert fish waste into a highly nutritive fertilizer

    Algae-Based Bioconversions

    • Microalgae such as Chlorella, Spirulina, Dunaliella, diatoms, and cyanobacteria are commonly used as sources of functional materials in natural foods
    • These organisms have a high growth rate in nutrient media under phototrophic conditions
    • They can be cultivated in open ponds or in closed photo-bioreactors, or heterotrophically in closed systems
    • Microalgae are promising agents for bioconversions of food, fishery, and agricultural waste into biomass rich in bioactive compounds

    Enzyme-Assisted Bioconversions

    • Processing with enzymes has enormous potential in waste management
    • Enzymes can mitigate hazards of conventional chemical transformations, help produce novel compounds, and function as analytical tools for food quality assessment
    • Enzymes can be used as additional processing aids to conventional processes or can be exclusively used to upgrade existing technologies in seafood processing
    • Examples of enzymes used in biotechnology include carbohydrases, proteases, and lipases

    Downstream Processing for the Recovery of Seafood Components

    • The by-catch and the various seafood processing discards are rich in balanced proteins, collagen, enzymes, lipid, carotenoids, polysaccharides, and minerals

    • These can be recovered by coupling the various bioconversion processes, supported by marine biotechnology-based downstream processes

    • Examples of downstream processes include pressurized liquid, sub-critical, super-critical, enzymemediated, microwave-, and ultrasound-assisted extractions### Seafood Processing Discards as a Source of Proteins

    • Seafood processing discards contain up to 60% proteins, making them a good source of proteins.

    • Proteins from seafood processing discards can be recovered using bioprocessing techniques.

    Isoelectric Solubilization Precipitation (ISP)

    • ISP is a gentle bioprocess that involves homogenization of fish or processing discards with dilute acid or alkali.
    • The process dissolves sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins, while removing impurities such as bone, skin, oil, and membranes.
    • Up to 90% of dissolved proteins can be precipitated by raising the pH of the solution to their iso-electric pH.
    • The process can be enhanced by coupling with high intensity sonication, electro-flocculation, and ultrafiltration.

    Recovery of Proteins from Various Fish Species

    • Proteins have been recovered from various fish species, including mackerel, catfish, rockfish, Pacific whiting, rainbow trout, and Atlantic croaker.
    • Fish protein isolates (FPIs) have protein contents of at least 65% and fat below 2%.
    • FPIs differ from conventional surimi, which is a concentrate of fish myofibrillar proteins.

    Properties of Fish Protein Isolates (FPIs)

    • FPIs retain biochemical, nutritional, and functional properties of the native proteins.
    • They can be used in applications such as development of restructured food products, protein supplements, and bioactive peptides.

    Collagen and Collagen Hydrolysate (CH)

    • Collagen is another protein from marine sources that can be recovered from seafood processing discards.
    • Collagen-based novel functional food ingredients contain nutritional benefits, such as essential and non-essential amino acids.
    • Collagen and CH can be used as natural antioxidants and texturizing agents.

    Mild Acid Induced Gelation

    • This process involves the ability of muscle structural proteins to undergo gelation under mild acidic conditions when water is strongly bound to the protein matrices.
    • The process can be used to prepare thermo-stable protein dispersions from fishery products.

    Flocculation

    • Proteins can be flocculated and precipitated by food-grade polysaccharides, such as carrageenan, alginate, and carboxy methylcellulose.
    • The proteins can be recovered from process effluents using electroflocculation and ultrafiltration.

    Enzymatically Hydrolyzed Proteins

    • Proteolytic enzymes from various sources can be used to extract proteins from seafood processing discards as fish protein hydrolyzates (FPHs).
    • The ideal treatment conditions include incubation temperature, enzyme to substrate ratio, and incubation time.
    • FPHs can be concentrated by spray drying or ultrafiltration and have beneficial effects on growth performances and feed utilization at low inclusion levels.

    Seafood Processing and Waste Generation

    • Seafood industry generates large volumes of waste, including processing discards, effluents, and by-catch.
    • Processing discards consist of shell, head, bones, intestine, fin, skin, and low-value underutilized fish.
    • By-catch refers to the portion of the total harvest not adequately used as food due to unattractive color, smaller size, and high fat content.
