Bioactive Compounds of Shrimp Shell Waste from Palaemon serratus and Palaemon varians from Portuguese Coast.

ABSTRACT: The production and consumption of shrimp species create massive amounts of shrimp bio-waste. In this study, shrimp shell waste from Palaemon serratus and Palaemon varians from the Portuguese coast was characterized. Regarding the antioxidant capacity, the obtained values were between 4.7 and 10.4 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g dry weight (dw) for Total phenolic content (TPC); 3 and 7 mg ascorbic acid equivalents (AAE)/g dw for Ferric reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP); 0.4 and 1.2 mg Trolox equivalent (TE)/g dw for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate free radical scavenging (DPPH^•); 4 and 11 mg TE/g dw for 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging activity (ABTS^•+); and 72 and 130 mg TE/g dw for Oxygen radical
