- understand the importance of marine by-products to human health
- explores the use of marine by-products in diverse areas such as agriculture,
medicine and energy production

Despite declining stocks, a major portion of the harvest of fish and marine
invertebrates is discarded or used for the production of low value fish meal and
fish oil. Marine by-products, though, contain valuable protein and lipid fractions
as well as vitamins, minerals and other bioactive compounds which are beneficial to
human health. Devising strategies for the full utilization of the catch and
processing of discards for production of novel products is therefore a matter of
importance for both the fishing industry and food processors. Maximising the value
of marine by-products provides a complete review of the characterisation, recovery,
processing and applications of marine-by products.

Part 1 summarises the physical and chemical properties of marine proteins and lipids
and assesses methods for their extraction and recovery. Part 2 examines the various
applications of by-products in the food industry, including health-promoting
ingredients such as marine oils and calcium, as well as enzymes, antioxidants,
flavourings and pigments. The final part of the book discusses the utilization of
marine by-products in diverse areas such as agriculture, medicine and energy
production.

With its distinguished editor and international team of authors, Maximising the
value of marine by-products is an invaluable reference for all those involved in the
valorisation of seafood by-products.
