ABSTRACT

The bioconversion of red tilapia by-products in protein hydrolysates using neutrase and papain demonstrated a high degree of hydrolysis and yield. Tilapia protein hydrolysates (TPH) contained high content in minerals, essential amino acids, and low-molecular-weight peptides. TPH showed water solubility and emulsifying capacity at neutral and alkaline conditions but low foam stability. TPH are also able to scavenge DPPH and ABTS free radicals and high efficiency for bacterial growth. Therefore, TPH represent an interesting source of functional and bioactive products to be added in food formulations, a high-performance bacterial culture media, and a sustainable way to reduce tilapia-processing wastes.
