| Abstract | Processing of fish leads to enormous amounts of waste. It is estimated that fish processing waste after filleting accounts for approximately 75% of the total fish weight. About 30% of the total fish weight remains as waste in the form of skins and bones duringpreparation of fish fillets. This wasteis an excellent raw material for the preparation ofhigh valueproducts including protein foods. The utilizationoffish wastes help to eliminate harmful environmental aspects and improve quality in fish processing. Fish processing generates solid wastes that can be as high as 50 - 80% of the original raw material. Skin and bone are sources ofhigh collagen content. |
