Gelatin derived from sheepskin (GSS) is a promising biomaterial for edible, biodegradable films, but exhibits poor water resistance, mechanical weakness, and brittleness. This study developed ultrasound-assisted composite films based on GSS and konjac glucomannan (KG; 0–75% w/w) to enhance their functionality. The ultrasonic treatment (40 kHz, 15 min) improved homogeneity and reduced structural defects. KG incorporation significantly increased film thickness from 0.031 mm to 0.038 mm and tensile strength from 0.5118 MPa to 0.9601 MPa, while reducing water vapor transmission from 2.6974 g m⁻² day⁻¹ to 1.7304 g m⁻² day⁻¹ and water activity from 0.4526 to 0.3084. Swelling decreased from 4.77% to 3.82%, whereas water resistance improved from 95.23% to 96.18%. The optimal formulation (25% KG) provided a balance between strength, flexibility, and hydrophobicity. FTIR confirmed intermolecular hydrogen bonding between GSS and KG, and ultrasound promoted uniform dispersion and denser microstructures. These findings highlight ultrasound-assisted GSS/KG films as sustainable, protein-polysaccharide-based materials with superior physicochemical and barrier properties for eco-friendly food packaging applications.

Bio-calcium powder was prepared from blackchin tilapia ( Sarotherodon melanotheron ) bones, an invasive species by-product from surimi production in Thailand, to evaluate the effects of alkaline pretreatment on bio-calcium properties. Bones were pretreated with NaOH or KOH (1 and 2 M) at a bone-to-solution ratio of 1:10 (w/v) for 2 h, followed by ethanol washing, hydrogen peroxide bleaching, drying, and grinding to obtain bio-calcium powder. The yield on a wet weight basis was 26–28%, with water activity values of 0.33–0.34 measured at room temperature. Among all treatments, 1 M KOH gave the highest yield (28%), calcium content (26.13%), and lightness (L∗ = 88.5). Collagenous proteins and hydroxyapatite were identified by SDS-PAGE and ATR-FTIR, respectively. All bio-calcium samples showed four to five times higher in vitro calcium solubility after simulated gastrointestinal digestion (13.4-17.50%) than calcium carbonate (3.4%). The 2 M treatments exhibited the highest calcium solubility (17.2-17.50%). The 1 M KOH can be used for food fortification due to its high yield and lightness, whereas the 2 M treatments can serve as calcium supplements where higher calcium solubility is required. Blackchin tilapia bone is a potential source for bio-calcium production, with 1 M KOH suitable for food fortification and 2 M treatments more appropriate for applications requiring higher calcium solubility.

This study evaluated the application of yellow mealworm ( Tenebrio molitor ) larvae protein extract (YMPE) as a clean-label cryoprotectant for frozen Pacific white shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei ), with emphasis on its underlying mechanism. Proteomic profiling identified 12 antifreeze protein-like peptides containing conserved ice-binding motifs (TCTxSxxCxxAx), supporting the cryoprotective potential of YMPE. During dose optimization, shrimp treated with 0.5% YMPE exhibited the highest weight gain (5.57%) and lowest freezable water content (59.67%) (P < 0.05). The cryoprotective efficacy of YMPE was further evaluated over five freeze–thaw cycles in comparison with distilled water and mixed phosphate. YMPE significantly mitigated quality deterioration by enhancing water retention, preserving protein functionality (higher Ca<sup>2+</sup>-ATPase activity), and reducing lysosomal enzyme leakage relative to the control (P < 0.05). Microstructural analysis revealed reduced muscle fiber disruption, characterized by fewer inter-fiber gaps. Mechanistically, YMPE may exert cryoprotective effects through a multimodal mechanism involving ice recrystallization inhibition and formation of a protective protein matrix. Although less effective than mixed phosphate, YMPE consistently improved all quality parameters compared with the control. These findings highlight the potential of insect-derived protein extracts as a novel, biologically based alternative to phosphate additives in seafood processing and provide a foundation for future industrial application.

Calcium deficiency is a global health issue motivating the search for sustainable calcium sources from aquaculture waste. This study investigated sodium hydroxide (NaOH) concentration effects on bio‑calcium quality and bioavailability extracted from tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) bones. Tilapia bones were treated with 0.5 M, 1 M, and 2 M NaOH solutions for 30 min compared to untreated controls. Increasing NaOH concentrations decreased yield while improving brightness, ash content, and calcium bioavailability. The 2 M NaOH treatment produced bio‑calcium with highest calcium bioavailability (8.57 %), surpassing both control (7.26 %) and commercial calcium carbonate (0.72 %) by 12-fold. Higher NaOH concentrations reduced moisture, protein, and fat contents while increasing hydroxyproline and decreasing lipid oxidation. SEM showed smoother surfaces with homogeneous pores in 2 M NaOH-treated samples. ATR-FTIR and EDS confirmed consistent hydroxyapatite structure. This optimization provides a sustainable approach for converting fish waste into high-bioavailability calcium supplements, supporting circular economy in aquaculture while addressing global calcium deficiency.

This study aimed to comprehensively investigate and characterize the physical, mechanical, and molecular properties of gelatin films made from goat skin incorporated with konjac glucomannan. The study involved three treatment groups, labeled GG/KG1, GG/KG2, and GG/KG3, which included konjac glucomannan at concentrations of 0, 10, and 20% (w/w), respectively. Glycerol at 20% (w/w) was also included as a plasticizer. All samples underwent homogenization and ultrasonic treatment. The addition of konjac glucomannan to the gelatin-based film resulted in changes such as increased thickness (0.033-0.093 mm), opacity (0.9910-1.0433 mm-1), color L* (92.45-92.77), color difference (48.13-48.38), swelling (65.53-69.47%), and contact angle (86.92-127.85o). Conversely, a decrease was observed in water activity (0.521-0.463 Aw), moisture content (9.87-9.62%), tensile strength (0.0171-0.0118 N/mm2), elongation at break (5.91-4.52%), young’s modulus (0.0029-0.0026 N/mm²), WVTR (118.99-116.82 g/m². day), transparency (81.59-67.33%), and water resistance (34.47-30.53 %). Additionally, the peaks of amides A, B, I, II, and III exhibit both a shift and an increase in intensity, suggesting structural modifications and molecular interactions. The microstructure also indicated the presence of goat skin gelatin and konjac glucomannan cross-linked in the film formation. Therefore, the addition of konjac glucomannan modifies gelatin-based films, enhancing their suitability for food packaging.

The cryoprotective activity of gelatin hydrolyzed by papaya latex enzymes at degrees of hydrolysis (DH) of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% were determined. The thermal hysteresis of gelati hydrolysate increased as DH increased up to 15% (2.31–4.19 °C) and decreased at DH of 20% (2.94 °C). The gelatin hydrolysate with 15%DH (G15), showing the highest thermal hysteresis, was subjected to fractionation and cryoprotective effect study in Pacific white shrimp. The fractionated peptide with the highest thermal hysteresis (5.19 °C) had a molecular weight of 1.7–4.2 kDa. After the soaking, G15-treated shrimp showed significantly lower and higher weight gain (7.33%) than those treated with mixed phosphates (16.12%) and distilled water (0.82%), respectively. Mixed phosphates- and G15-treated shrimp had lower α-glucosidase (AG) and β-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (NAG) activities in exudate and lower thawing loss than distilled water-treated shrimp. G15-and mixed phosphates-treated shrimp also reduced freezable water content and maintained Ca<sup>2+</sup>-ATPase activity and protein solubility more effectively than distilled water-treated shrimp. Therefore, gelatin hydrolysate could be a potential alternative cryoprotectant in frozen raw shrimp.

In this study, we investigated the impact of lipid oxidation on the discoloration of Sawai (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) lipids and proteins. Sawai microsomes, liposomes, and salt-soluble myofibrillar proteins were prepared and subjected to lipid oxidation process. The results revealed that the levels of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, yellowness (as indicated by b* values), and pyrrole compounds increased when Sawai liposomes and microsomes were oxidized using iron and ascorbate. Meanwhile, the levels of free amines decreased, particularly as the iron content (25∼100 μM) and incubation time (0∼20 h) increased. The impact of oxidized liposomes at different levels (1, 2, and 5%) on the salt-soluble Sawai myofibrillar proteins was also evaluated. The findings revealed that lipid oxidation products reduced the sulfhydryl content and increased the surface hydrophobicity and carbonyl content of the salt-soluble Sawai myofibrillar proteins. These results imply that the formation of yellow discoloration in Sawai muscle could be due to nonenzymatic browning reactions occurring between lipid oxidation products and amines in the muscle protein.

Pepsin-solubilised collagen from the skin of splendid squid (SC) was isolated, partially purified by salt precipitation and dialysis prior to characterisation. The yield of SC was 75.3% (dry weight basis). SC with high purity was obtained as shown by the distinct UV absorption peak at 232 nm and high hydroxyproline content. Total sugar content of SC was 4.70% (dry weight basis), which was higher than that of collagen from calf skin (CC) (1.45% dry weight basis) (P < 0.05). Based on SDS-PAGE and elution profile, SC might contain the mixed types of collagen (type SQ-I and type SQ-II), in which α- and β-chains were the major components. SC was rich in glycine and had high content of imino acids (189 residues/1000 residues). The degradation induced by chymotrypsin and lysyl endopeptidase was more pronounced in CC, compared with SC. The maximum transition temperature (T m a x) of SC was 34.1°C, which was about 7°C lower than that of CC. Fourier transform infrared spectra revealed that the triple-helical structure of SC was predominant with the copresence of carbohydrate moieties. Therefore, the skin of splendid squid, a byproduct from squid processing, can be an alternative source for collagen production.
