Background: Fish discards represent an important under-utilisation of marine resources. This study evaluated the up-grading of the protein fraction of blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) discards by the production of fish protein hydrolysates (FPHs) exhibiting functional, antioxidant, angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory and antigenicity properties.
Results: FPHs with low DH (4%) showed better emulsifying, foaming and oil binding capacities, particularly those obtained using only trypsin. FPHs with DH 4% exhibited also the stronger antioxidant activity, especially the one obtained using only subtilisin (IC = 1.36 mg protein mL ). The presence of hydrophobic residues at the C-terminal of the FPH produced using subtilisin also led to the stronger ACE-inhibitory activity. However, FPHs with high DH (12%), which implies a higher proportion of short peptides, was required to enhance ACE-inhibition (IC = 172 µg protein mL ). The antigenic levels of the FPH were also reduced with DH independently of the enzymatic treatment. Nevertheless, the highest degradation of fish allergens (e.g. parvalbumin) was also obtained when using only subtilisin.
Conclusion: These results suggest that added-value products for food applications can be produced from the protein fraction of discards. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.

The aim of this study was to use blue whiting fish protein hydrolysate (BWFPH) as a novel dietary amino acid supplement in whey protein isolate (WPI) and pea protein isolate (PPI)-based protein bars. The findings indicate that incorporating BWFPH significantly influenced the nutritional profile of the protein bars, leading to a ~93% reduction in hardness compared to bars without the hydrolysate. Additionally, BWFPH effectively delayed the hardening process during storage.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores the high prevalence of Anisakid nematodes in blue whiting caught off Portugal, using molecular detection methods like conventional PCR and Sanger sequencing.
- All 50 fish examined were infected, with a breakdown revealing 68.1% of the larvae as one species, marking a first report for another species in these fish, indicating a significant public health risk due to rising raw seafood consumption.
- The findings emphasize the need for better detection methods and safety practices to minimize the risk of anisakidosis, alongside further research on the allergenic potential of these parasites and their environmental distribution.

In the last 25 years, nematode parasites of the genus have attracted international attention from various socio-economic sectors, with serious concern about the impact of these parasites on seafood quality and safety, and public health (related to both zoonoses and allergy). A knowledge-based understanding of the population structure of spp. is useful to provide valuable data about the infection dynamics, host specificity and its ability to adapt to local environments and to climate change by adapting to the food-web structure.

Marine-derived proteins, such as blue whiting-derived protein hydrolysates (BWPH), represent high-quality sources of dietary protein, but their ability to support postexercise anabolism is not established. The impact of BWPH on whole-body anabolism was compared with an isonitrogenous whey protein isolate (WPI) and nonessential amino acid (NEAA) control in 10 trained young males (31 ± 4 years) who, on three separate visits, performed a session of whole-body resistance exercise and then consumed, in randomized crossover fashion, BWPH, WPI, or NEAA (0.33 g/kg; 19, 33, and 0 mg/kg leucine, respectively) with L-[1-13C]leucine.

Fish protein hydrolysates (FPHs) were obtained from different fish sources using a combination of microbial enzymes. The industrially produced FPHs from blue whiting () and sprat () were compared to freeze-dried FPHs generated in-house from hake () and mackerel () in terms of their physicochemical composition and functionality. Significant differences ( < 0.
