Extraction of proteins from shrimp processing waste |
|
| Authors: | Marc P Bataille Pierre F Bataille |
| Abstract: | Up to 70% of the theoretical protein content of shrimp waste was recovered by a boiling water extraction method. Digestion time, volume and concentration of calcium hydroxide were varied to optimise the yield of dry matter recovered on processing the shrimp waste. Amino acid analysis was carried out to characterise the protein content of the dry matter. |
