VALORIZATION OF TUNA (Thunnus sp.) VISCERA BY-PRODUCT INTO HYDROLYSATES AND OPTIMIZING BROMELAIN-MEDIATED HYDROLYSIS FOR FUNCTIONAL APPLICATIONS
Tuna (Thunnus sp.) viscera by-product, representing 12–18% (w/w) of total fish biomass, is an underutilized resource that poses environmental challenges if not well managed. However, its high protein content offers significant potential for the production of bioactive protein hydrolysates (FPH). This study aimed to eva...
