Title Optimization of the Extraction of Chitosan and Fish Gelatin from Fishery Waste and Their Antimicrobial Potential as Active Biopolymers
Year 2023
Published Gels, 9, 3
Abstract Fishery residues are abundant raw materials that also provide numerous metabolites with high added value. Their classic valorization includes energy recovery, composting, animal feed, and direct deposits in landfills or oceans along with the environmental impacts that this entails. However, through extraction processes, they can be transformed into new compounds with high added value, offering a more sustainable solution. The aim of this study was to optimize the extraction process of chitosan and fish gelatin from fishery waste and their revalorization as active biopolymers. We successfully optimized the chitosan extraction process, achieving a yield of 20.45% and a deacetylation degree of 69.25%. For the fish gelatin extraction process, yields of 11.82% for the skin and 2.31% for the bone residues were achieved. In addition, it was demonstrated that simple purification steps using activated carbon improve the gelatin's quality significantly. Finally, biopolymers based on fish gelatin and chitosan showed excellent bactericidal capabilities against Escherichia coli and Listeria innocua. For this reason, these active biopolymers can stop or decrease bacterial growth in their potential food packaging applications. In view of the low technological transfer and the lack of information about the revalorization of fishery waste, this work offers extraction conditions with good yields that can be easily implemented in the existing industrial fabric, reducing costs and supporting the economic development of the fish processing sector and the creation of value from its waste.
