“…The percentage of chitin obtained in previous studies ranged from 2.5-12.2% for insects [19], 7.9-11.4% for mushrooms [20] and 33-45% in sh scales [21]. The dry weight of chitin obtained in this study was 11.8%, 9.9% and 39% for banana weevils (BW), mushrooms (MSR) and Nile perch scales (NS) respectively falling within the ranges of the previous studies.…”

Background: Of recent, immense attention has been given to chitosan in the biomedical field due to its valuable biochemical and physiological properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-immunogenicity, reactivity, solubility and non-toxicity. For instance, chitosan has exhibited distinguished bioactivity not limited to only antimicrobial activity but also promotion of wound healing and immune system augmentation in model animals. Therefore, chitosan has attracted application as a nano drug targeted delivery system. Traditionally, the chief source of chitosan is chitin from crab and shrimp shells obtained as waste products in the seafood industry. Chitin is also an important component of fish scales, insects and fungal cell walls, therefore, Uganda’s edible mushrooms, Nile perch scales and banana weevils can be used as alternative sources of chitin and obviously chitosan. Thus, the aim of this study was to isolate and characterize chitosan from locally available material for potential use in the biomedical field. Methods: Chitin was extracted from banana weevils, Nile perch scales and mushrooms powder by demineralization with 1.0M HCl solution, then deproteinization with 1.0M NaOH. Chitosan was prepared by treating chitin with 50% NaOH at 100°C for 8 hrs. Chitosan ash and moisture contents were determined gravimetrically while solubility was computed as percentage dry weight of suspended chitosan. FTIR was used to determine the DD while XRD was used to estimate the crystallinity of chitosan. Results: Ash and moisture contents ranged from 3.5 to 15% and 3.5 to 6.4% respectively while solubility level varied from 57 to 68%. FTIR spectra reveal high degree of similarity between locally isolated chitosan and commercial chitosan with DD ranging from 77.8 to 79.1%. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns exhibited peaks at 2θ values of 19.5° for both chitosan extracted from Mushrooms and banana weevils while chitosan from Nile perch scales registered 3 peaks at 2θ angles of 12.3°, 20.1° and 21.3° comparable to the established commercial chitosan (Sigma Aldrich) XRD pattern. Conclusion: Ash content, moisture content, DD, FTIR spectra and XRD pattern revealed that chitosan isolated from locally available materials has physicochemical properties comparable to conventional chitosan and therefore it can be used in the biomedical field.

“…While chitin is the most important natural polysaccharide after cellulose found in crustaceous shell or in cell walls of fungi (Kumari and Rath, 2014). Rumengan et al (2017) reported that from fish scales of parrotfish (Chlorurus sordidus) and red snapper (Lutjanus argentimaculatus) were obtained rendered chitin as many as 45% in amide groups at 1627.13 cm-1 and 33% in amide groups at 1648.09 cm-1, respectively identified by the method of FTIR Analysis.…”

The purpose of present study was to evaluate the performance of broilers fed the commercial diet partially substituted with leubim fish (Canthidermis maculata) waste meal (LFWM) treated by fermentation and without fermentation. As many as 100 broiler chicks, MB 202 strain, unsex, were reared up to 5 weeks in this study. The research was set up into randomized block design (RBD) consisting of 5 treatments and 4 blocks with 5 birds each. Blocks were as replicate based on the body weights of the birds at the beginning of feeding experimental diets. The experimental diets were commercial diets partially replaced with LFWM administered by either fermentation or not with the level of 6 and 12% each, 6.5% and 13% yellow corn, and 0.5% topmix. The data was analyzed using an Analysis of Variance (AOV) and continued by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) only if significant effects were detected among the treatments. The result of recent study indicated that the inclusion of feeds containing LFWM treated by either or not fermented combined with yellow corn and topmix as partially substitution of commercial diets significantly increased (P<0.05) FBW, BWG, feed intake, and protein intake compared to those fed full commercial diet. However, FCR and PER were not significantly affected. DMRT indicated there were no significant diferences in broiler performances fed the feeds containing LFWM treated by fermentation vs without fermentation.

“…More recently interesting results have been obtained from typical tropical saltwater fishes species, namely red snapper and parrotfish. Rumengan et al [ 197 ] obtained a chitin yield of 45% and 33%, from parrotfish ( Chlorurus sordidus ) and red snapper ( Lutjanus argentimaculatus ), respectively, while Takarina and Fanani [ 198 ] achieved DDA values up to 75% for chitin and 90.83% for chitosan, by suggesting a huge potential for red snapper fish scales. An even higher value of deacetylation was retrieved in the chitosan obtained from Papuyu fish scales, with 97.40% against the 93.80% of commercial chitosan from shrimp shell [ 199 ].…”

Fish Waste: From Problem to Valuable Resource

Following the growth of the global population and the subsequent rapid increase in urbanization and industrialization, the fisheries and aquaculture production has seen a massive increase driven mainly by the development of fishing technologies. Accordingly, a remarkable increase in the amount of fish waste has been produced around the world; it has been estimated that about two-thirds of the total amount of fish is discarded as waste, creating huge economic and environmental concerns. For this reason, the disposal and recycling of these wastes has become a key issue to be resolved. With the growing attention of the circular economy, the exploitation of underused or discarded marine material can represent a sustainable strategy for the realization of a circular bioeconomy, with the production of materials with high added value. In this study, we underline the enormous role that fish waste can have in the socio-economic sector. This review presents the different compounds with high commercial value obtained by fish byproducts, including collagen, enzymes, and bioactive peptides, and lists their possible applications in different fields.
