| The main objective of this study is the valorisation of by-products coming from processed tuna (Thunnus albacares). Therefore, enzymatic hydrolysis was selected, using an industrial large spectrum protease (Protamex). In a first phase, hydrolyses of these by-products (heads, tails, viscera) were carried out for long periods of time (12h) in order to establish the kinetics of the proteolysis of those different by-products and to obtain the approximate composition of the different resulting fractions and to determine the conditions which would allow the valorisation of these fractions. In a second phase the valorisation in animal nutrition (shrimp culture) and in human nutrition (fish sauce) of the fractions coming from the hydrolysis of the head of tunas... |
