Valorization of aquaculture side streams from sea bream and sea bass by enzymatic hydrolysis and fractionation: chemical and biological insights.

ABSTRACT: Increased valorization of aquaculture side streams is essential for reducing waste and enhancing resource efficiency. This study investigates the enzymatic hydrolysis and subsequent fractionation of pre-processed side streams from sea bream and sea bass aquaculture. Using Corolase® 8000, hydrolysates were produced and fractionated into crude, permeate, and retentate using membrane filtration (3 kDa molecular weight cut-off). The samples were comprehensively characterized for chemical composition, techno-functional properties, and biological activities. Briefly, the chemical characterization revealed that all samples had high protein content (>80%). As expected, the highest average molecular weight was measured for the retentate, followed by the crude and the permeate. The permeate distingu
