Fish by-catches, along with other fish side-streams, were previously used as raw material for the production of fishmeal and oil but appropriate handling allows their use in more valuable options. The aim this research was to valorize undersized hake (Merluccius merluccius) a model using by-catch from Bay Biscay produce protein hydrolysates bioactivities. Six enzymes, different proteolytic activities (endo- or exoproteases) specificities, tested hydrolysates. Products obtained an...
Defatted grape seed flour (DGSF), a byproduct of the oil production, was investigated as potential source protein-enriched food ingredients with functional properties. The operation conditions alkaline extraction followed by acid precipitation method were studied response surface methodology, aiming to maximize protein yield. These temperature 50 °C, solvent/meal ratio 1:15, pH 11, and 150 min time in two sequential cycles, achieving product 32.63 ± 0.07% (w/w) d.m. content. A second extract...
This work aims to demonstrate that it is possible reduce the pollution of a food wastewater by promoting recovery valuable compounds as secondary raw material for other processes enhancing company sustainability. For this purpose, technical feasibility biomolecules present in mussel cooking side streams had been tested, through concentration and stabilization technologies obtain ingredients savoury use. Among all proteins from processing currents are available on market or those an advanced...
Brewer’s spent yeast (BSY) is produced by the beer industry and has high nutritional value great potential for producing high-value molecules, such as peptides, nutraceutical, food feed applications. In present research, Flavourzyme® Protamex® enzymes were selected protein hydrolysis based on previous studies. The optimum conditions enzymatic defined response surface methodology (RSM) Box–Behnken design composed of four variables: temperature, pH, enzyme dosage time. Protein content, degree...
Abstract A 5-scale label that relativizes the environmental impact of a given product referred to European food basket is proposed. It was developed based on Product Environmental Footprint methodology with following stepwise approach. First, set normalization and weighting factors were defined aggregate all categories into single dimensionless index as basket, coined Food Single Index (EFSI). Next, effectiveness EFSI evaluated by assessing distribution results 149 hypothetical items...
The purpose of the European SENSE project was to define an integral system assess and communicate environmental impacts food products develop a web-based tool for Small Medium size Enterprises (SMEs). has been tested in salmon, beef-and-dairy, fruit juice production sectors. evaluated several existing methodologies impact assessment over life cycle including also social aspects, order deliver new agricultural aquaculture products. includes standardization data gathering system, selection...
Grape stem is a winery by-product that it currently disposed as waste or at best soil conditioner. However, rich in fibres and polyphenols which makes interesting for animal feeding. In this regard, rabbit farming emerges target livestock since fibre content essential rabbit’s diets preventing digestive troubles are associated with improved performances animals due to their antimicrobial antioxidant activities. This study aims assess the suitability of grape stem-based ingredient The was...
Lignin in animal diets is a limiting factor due to its low digestibility. This study assessed the effects of thermal or mechanical pre-treatments and enzymatic hydrolysis on spent coffee grounds' (SCG) nutritional value A first trial studied effect pre-treatment with removal liquid part second without part. Autoclaving did not improve performance nor value. Hydrolysis reduced digestibility solid phase impaired ruminal fermentation efficiency. Hydrolysates removing improved value, but...
A recent study, using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), suggests that natural fluctuations in stock abundance fisheries may cause high variability environmental impacts related to the Atlantic mackerel fishery Basque Country. The aim of this study is analyze through time a demersal species, European hake (Merluccius merluccius), caught by bottom trawlers waters. three-step LCA+DEA method, which combines LCA with data envelopment analysis (DEA), linear programming tool, was implemented assess...
