Introduction to seafood processing by-products

Abstract

Since ancient times, seafood has been considered a healthy food for humans. Seafood by-products also play a major role in the daily life of humans. Focus has been increased to develop new seafood by-products from marine resources. In this opening chapter, we discuss fish-derived by-products such as proteins, peptides, and oil for nutriceutical and pharmaceutical uses. In addition, crustaceans and seaweed by-products and their applications are also discussed in detail. Overall, this book gives a good grounding in view of the processing, methods, and applications of seafood by-products.
