    Functional and Bioactive Properties of Peptides Derived from Marine Side Streams
    (Mdpi, 2021) Ucak, Ilknur; Afreen, Maliha; Montesano, Domenico; Carrillo, Celia; Tomasevic, Igor; Simal-Gandara, Jesus; Barba, Francisco J.
    In fish processing, a great amount of side streams, including skin, bones, heads and viscera, is wasted or downgraded as feed on a daily basis. These side streams are rich sources of bioactive nitrogenous compounds and protein, which can be converted into peptides through enzymatic hydrolysis as well as bacterial fermentation. Peptides are short or long chains of amino acids differing in structure and molecular weight. They can be considered as biologically active as they can contribute to physiological functions in organisms with applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In the food industry, such bioactive peptides can be used as preservatives or antioxidants to prevent food spoilage. Furthermore, peptides contain several functional qualities that can be exploited as tools in modifying food ingredient solubility, water-holding and fat-binding capacity and gel formation. In the pharmaceutical industry, peptides can be used as antioxidants, but also as antihypertensive, anticoagulant and immunomodulatory compounds, amongst other functions. On the basis of their properties, peptides can thus be used in the development of functional foods and nutraceuticals. This review focuses on the bioactive peptides derived from seafood side streams and discusses their technological properties, biological activities and applications.

    Potential of Propolis Extract as a Natural Antioxidant and Antimicrobial in Gelatin Films Applied to Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Fillets
    (Mdpi, 2020) Ucak, Ilknur; Khalily, Rowida; Carrillo, Celia; Tomasevic, Igor; Barba, Francisco J.
    Usage of edible films and coatings alone or incorporated with natural extracts are a new approach to preservation and packaging of food. In this study, therefore, the microbiological, chemical quality, and sensorial changes of rainbow trout fillets coated with gelatin films supplemented with propolis extract (PE) (2, 8, 16%), as a source of polyphenols, were determined during 15 days of refrigerated storage (4 +/- 1 degrees C). According to peroxide value (PV) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assays, lipid oxidation was delayed in the fillets coated with gelatin films incorporated with PE comparing with the control and gelatin-coated (without PE) fillets. The total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) value of rainbow trout fillets showed an increase in all groups at the end of storage, observing the lowest values in the fillets coated with gelatin films prepared with 16% PE. Gelatin films enriched with PE had great inhibitory effects on the microbial growth in rainbow trout fillets. The addition of PE enhanced the effectiveness of gelatin films and delayed the lipid oxidation and sensory and microbial deterioration in trout fillets coated with these films. Thus, PE can be recommended to be used as a natural antioxidant and antimicrobial additive with gelatin films to maintain rainbow trout fillet quality.
