Collagenous derivatives (collagen, gelatin, and collagenous hydrolysate (CH)) are extensively used across the food, biomedical, and pharmaceutical industries. Traditionally, these have been sourced from porcine, bovine, and fish due to their ready availability and biocompatibility. However, conventional collagenous derivatives face ongoing challenges regarding sustainability, resource intensity, and socio-cultural perceptions. This has led to the exploration of alternative collagenous derivatives from unconventional sources, with a primary focus on evaluating their potential for yields, extractability, and functional properties, all of which are fundamental for future scale-up and alternative applications. This review summarizes alternative collagenous derivatives from unconventional animals, including amphibians, mollusks, echinoderms, insects, unconventional fish and byproducts, and reptiles. Their structures, extraction techniques, functional properties, and potential applications are comprehensively summarized, showcasing their ability to complement or even surpass conventional sources in specific uses. Additionally, the challenges and prospects for industrial application, emphasizing the sustainability of meeting growing collagen demand and encouraging further research into these promising alternative sources, were discussed. Unconventional collagenous derivatives demonstrate excellent and unique characteristics as alternatives to conventional ones. Type I collagen from amphibians, reptiles, and mollusks had superior thermal stability. Unconventional gelatin and CH also possess various bio-functionalities that can enhance their potential applications. The relatively low extraction yield could be addressed by increasing the concentration of chemicals or extraction time and incorporating green technology without causing an adverse impact on the quality. These findings indicate the potential applications of unconventional collagenous derivatives as food ingredients and supplements.

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.

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.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of edible coatings made from goat skin gelatin, with and without konjac glucomannan, for preserving strawberries at room temperature. Three groups were analyzed: a control group (EKG1), a gelatin coating group (EKG2), and a gelatin with konjac glucomannan group (EKG3). The addition of konjac glucomannan increased coating viscosity and thickness. While EKG3 initially raised total soluble solids, this difference disappeared by day 3. Both gelatin-based coatings maintained pH levels and showed no significant firmness difference between EKG2 and EKG3. The coatings effectively slowed color changes and pigment oxidation because they limited oxygen exposure. Weight loss was similar for EKG2 and EKG3, but EKG3 better preserved ascorbic acid on day 12. These results suggest that natural coatings can effectively reduce fruit spoilage, supporting sustainable food packaging and circular economy principles because they extend shelf life while being environmentally friendly.

Confectionery products, specifically jelly and gummy, require optimized structural, thermal, and nutritional properties for functionality and consumer acceptance. This study investigated the impact of furcellaran (FUR) and calcium L-threonate (Ca) on the physicochemical and the sensory properties of fish gelatin-based jelly (JFG). Furcellaran modestly enhanced gel strength and hardness, while its combination with calcium L-threonate produced synergistic improvements, with JFG-FUR-Ca achieving the highest gel strength (947.63 g) and hardness (78.14 N). Microstructural and intermolecular force analyses indicated that Ca<sup>2+</sup> bridging between gelatin and furcellaran promoted ionic and hydrogen bonding, forming a dense and thermostable network. The combined incorporation of furcellaran and calcium L-threonate enhanced the rheological properties while preserving low syneresis. Sensory evaluation revealed minor reductions; however, overall acceptability was higher than 7. Calcium bioavailability after digestion through the gastrointestinal tract model remained high (70–80%), confirming effective calcium fortification. The synergistic incorporation of furcellaran and calcium L-threonate effectively improved the structural integrity, thermal stability, and calcium bioavailability of fish gelatin-based jelly, while maintaining acceptable sensory qualities, highlighting its potential as a functional calcium-fortified confectionery product.

This study presents the first systematic molecular characterization and protein chemistry optimization for surimi processing from invasive blackchin tilapia (Sarotherodon melanotheron), introducing novel salt washing protocols. Ten treatments were evaluated including conventional washing, single/multiple salt washing (0.3–0.9 % NaCl), and pH-shifting methods. Molecular analyses (SDS-PAGE, ATR-FTIR and SEM) revealed myofibrillar protein preservation and distinct structural modifications. The optimized 0.6 % NaCl protocol achieved selective heme protein removal while preserving myofibrillar integrity, yielding superior gel chemistry (whiteness: 76.47 vs. 71.04) and highest sensory acceptance (7.33 vs. 6.40). pH-shifting enhanced protein recovery (68.59 %) but caused molecular aggregation and network disruption, reducing gel strength by 82 %. Molecular analysis demonstrated that salt washing selectively removes chromoproteins while preserving essential gel-forming proteins, whereas pH-shifting caused protein aggregation. SEM confirmed dense protein matrices in salt-washed samples versus fragmented networks in pH-treated surimi. This chemistry-guided approach transforms invasive species into functional protein ingredients.

Djenkol peel is an agricultural by-product containing valuable bioactive compounds. The direct use of its extract faces challenges related to stability and sensory acceptance. This study aimed to investigate the effect of djenkol peel extract (DPE) on the encapsulation efficiency (EE) using liposomes. The physicochemical properties, antioxidant activities, and cytotoxicity of the obtained liposomes were evaluated. DPE (0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 %, w/v) was encapsulated using phospholipid/cholesterol as the wall material. The highest EE (66.69 %) was observed in the liposomes loaded with 0.25 % (w/v) DPE (LE-0.25DPE) (P < 0.05). All DPE-loaded liposomes displayed nanometer-scale particle sizes (78.94–135.60 nm) and negative zeta potentials (−52.60 to −57.50 mV). Encapsulation of DPE in liposomes can mask its undesirable color. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed changes in the physicochemical and thermal properties of LE-0.25DPE. Additionally, LE-0.25DPE showed increased DPPH radical-scavenging activity (DPPH-RSA) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) in a dose-dependent manner (250–2000 μg/mL). In vitro Caco-2 cell viability test, LE-0.25DPE at 0.1–1 μg/mL exhibited no cytotoxicity compared to the control (P < 0.05). Thus, DPE-loaded liposomes demonstrate potential as a functional food ingredient with high bioactivity.

Fish gelatin (FG) is a promising alternative to mammalian gelatin but is limited by poor gelling ability, low gel strength, and inability to set at room temperature. This study evaluated the effects of furcellaran (FUR), a gelling agent, on the structural and physicochemical properties of FG gels at different substitution levels (25–100%). The addition of 25% FUR improved gel strength and hardness. However, higher FUR levels (>50%) led to reduced springiness and increased syneresis. Intermolecular force measurements revealed that ionic and hydrogen bonds were crucial in the FG/FUR gel system, with higher levels of FUR promoting stronger ionic and hydrogen bonding. Color changes were observed with decreased L* and increased b* and ∆E* values as FUR levels rose. Gelling and melting points also increased proportionally with FUR content. Microstructural analysis showed denser gel networks with smaller gaps upon FUR incorporation. SAXS analysis confirmed enhanced structural conformation with higher FUR levels. An appropriate level of FUR added (25%) could therefore improve gelling properties via increasing gel strength and gelling temperature without negative effects on springiness and syneresis of resulting gel.

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.
