Summary: Developing biodegradable and non-toxic materials as alternatives to petrochemical polymers is crucial. In this study, an environmentally-friendly film was prepared using waste fish scale-derived gelatin. By incorporating chitosan and silica sol as functional fillers, a multifunctional and mechanically robust composite film was created. The addition of liquefied chitin product improved flexibility, antibacterial capacity, and UV absorption, while the silica sol enhanced mechanical strength and water tolerance. This renewable composite film shows great potential for film-based packaging.

Summary: In this study, active antibacterial composite films were prepared by incorporating epsilon-poly-L-lysine (epsilon-PLL) into Siberian sturgeon gelatin-chitosan mixture and cross-linking with Glutaraldehyde (G) and/or Cinnamaldehyde (C). The addition of G resulted in improved mechanical properties and lower water vapor permeability, while C led to higher release of epsilon-PLL and stronger antibacterial activity. The results suggest that epsilon-PLL-fortified fish gelatin/chitosan composite films can be used as food packaging material with enhanced structural and antimicrobial properties.

Summary: This paper compared the structure and functional properties of gelatin extracted from different fish scales and food-grade pigskin gelatin. The results showed that the extracted fish scale gelatins had high protein content and low lipid and ash contents. Among them, pigskin gelatin had the highest gel strength due to its high proline content and average molecular weight distribution. In addition, the emulsifying stability and foaming property of fish scale gelatin also showed potential for use in the food industry.

Summary: Petroleum-based polymers have raised environmental concerns, so it is important to develop biodegradable, biocompatible, and nontoxic polymers as alternatives. This research focused on extracting gelatin from fish waste cartilage and coating it onto pre-synthesized spherical zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs) with a suitable plasticizer to create a biodegradable film. The presence of gelatin on ZnNPs was confirmed using UV-visible spectrophotometers, and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to study the coating's functional groups. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis showed that the gelatin-coated ZnNPs had a size range of 41.43-52.31 nm and a platonic to pentagonal shape. The fabricated film had a thickness of 0.04-0.10 mm, density of 0.10-0.27 g/cm3, and tensile strength of 31.7 kPa. These findings suggest that the fish waste cartilage gelatin-coated ZnNPs-based nanocomposite can be used for film production and as a wrapper for food and pharmaceutical packaging.

Summary: The effect of catching season, pre-sorting, and selective recombination of herring filleting co-products on protein yield and quality was studied. The results showed that sorting the frame fraction led to the highest protein yield and quality. pH-shift processing caused severe proteolytic degradation and lipid oxidation in the head fraction, resulting in low-quality protein isolate. The spring co-products produced protein isolates with better overall quality compared to the fall co-products.

Summary: A new process for extracting sulfated polysaccharides (SPs) and fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) from tuna head simultaneously was developed. The influence of different enzymes (Alcalase, Protamex, and Pancreatin) on the properties and bioactivity of both SPs and FPHs was investigated. The results showed that Protamex yielded SPs with the highest carbohydrate content, while Alcalase produced SPs with the highest content of uronic acid/sulfate. The type of enzyme used also affected the degree of hydrolysis of FPHs and their antioxidant activity.

Summary: High acid consumption and lipid oxidation are challenges in the recovery of functional proteins from herring coproducts. This study found that the addition of lingonberry press-cake (LP), which is rich in organic acids and phenolics, can reduce acid consumption, increase oxidative stability, and improve the protein isolation process. However, higher LP content led to lower protein content and lightness, but higher lipid content in the protein isolates.

Summary: The combined effects of isolation temperature and pH on yield, techno-functional properties, and beany flavor of pea protein isolates were investigated. Increasing pH from 2.0 to 9.5 and 11.0 increased yields, while increasing temperature did not increase protein recovery and negatively affected techno-functional properties. Protein isolated at pH 11.0 (20 degrees C) had higher fat absorption, gelation capacity, and other properties, attributed to higher protein denaturation. Volatile beany flavor marker hexanal was predominant in all isolates regardless of isolation temperature, possibly due to lipid oxidation.

Summary: This study addresses two challenges in additive manufacturing of cellulosic hydrogels and cryogels: inadequate rheological properties of ENCC suspensions for 3D printing of hydrogels and poor mechanical properties of 3D printed CNC cryogels. These limitations are effectively overcome by hybridization of CNC/ENCC at an optimized weight ratio. Controlling the CNC/ENCC ratio allows for high tunability of rheological properties, enabling high-fidelity printing of 3D hydrogels, and mechanical performance of cryogels can be tailored by manipulating the CNC/ENCC ratio. Compared to neat CNC cryogels, CNC/ENCC (1:1) cryogels have 78% higher compressive strength. This research opens new opportunities for sustainable, biocompatible, and lightweight cellulosic structured scaffolds with a wide range of applications.

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.
