New Protein/Peptide Product from Fish Skin Chelated with Iron

Posted On: May 19, 2009

News posted originally in the Aquapreneur Forum from our colleagues in China

Researchers at Zhejing Ocean University in Eastern China’s Zhejiang province have developed a process for producing protein/peptide from fish skin chelated with iron. They are cooperating with a local enterprise to commercialize the process.

The process employs a physical method rather than a chemical one for the deodorization of protein/peptide from fish skin and a chelating method for chelating iron with the protein/peptide. These two methods constitute the two distinct aspects of the process.

The fish skin they use is cod fish skin. But it can be from other low-value fishes. Thus the process provides a way for the comprehensive utilization of aquatic resources.

The product can be used as a kind of iron supplement for the prevention of iron deficiency anemia. It also shows certain antioxidant and antibacterial effects. It is sold in the form of food additive, capsules and tablets, etc.
