“…Every year, the seafood processing industry discards a large amount of by-products, including viscera, shells, heads, squid pens, fins, and bones, even though they could be recycled to produce bioactive compounds like gelatin [1][2][3][4], enzymes [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], chitin [8,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26], chitin oligomers [7,11,12], α-glucosidase inhibitors (aGI) [27][28][29][30][31], carotenoids [32,33], and bioactive peptides [34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. Consequently, much research has gone into converting these by-products into bioactive products that have potential applications in biotechnological, agricultural, nutritional, pharmaceutical, and biomedical industries [1,…”
