    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.

    Amphibians have been consumed as an alternative protein source all around the world due to their delicacy. The skin of edible amphibians, particularly frogs and giant salamanders, always goes to waste without further utilization. However, these wastes can be utilized to extract protein and bioactive peptides (BPs). Various BPs have been extracted and reported for numerous biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, antidiabetic, etc. The main BPs identified were brevinins, bombesins, dermaseptins, esculentins, magainin, temporins, tigerinins, and salamandrins. This review provides a comprehensive discussion on various BPs isolated and identified from different amphibian skins or skin secretion and their biological activities. The general nutritional composition and production statues of amphibians were described. Additionally, multiple constraints against the utilization of amphibian skin and secretions are reported. Finally, the prospective applications of BPs in food and biomedical industries are presented such as multifunctional food additives and/or supplements as well as drug delivery agents.
