With the aim to upcycle fish side-streams, enzymatic hydrolysis is often applied to produce protein hydrolysates with bioactive properties or just as a protein source for food and feed. However, the production of hydrolysates generates a side-stream. For underutilized fish and fish backbone this side-stream will contain fish bones and make it rich in minerals.

Although seafood and marine mammals are an important part of the traditional Inuit diet, there is a general lack of information on the Po concentrations in the Greenlandic marine food chain leading to the human consumer. Here, we determine background Po concentrations in edible parts of different marine organisms from Greenland and provide a dose assessment.

The objective was to determine shelf-life and indices of spoilage for iced or superchilled fillets when stored in air, or modified atmosphere packed (MAP; 40% CO and 60% N).

In this study, enzyme and high pressure (HP) improved the shell-loosening at different degrees, which were observed as gaps by microscopy. The shell-loosening gap induced by an endoprotease with broad specificity (Endocut-03L, 53 μm) was much higher than that induced by HP at 100 MPa (HP100, 12 μm), followed by an endoprotease with high specificity (Tail21, 8 μm), and HP at 600 MPa (HP600, 5 μm).
