Tuna cooking drip (TCD) is a protein rich by-product of canned tuna processing that is typically discarded. In this study, the immune-enhancing activities of TCD and its enzymatic hydrolysate (EH-TCD) were investigated by intraperitoneally administering Balb/c male mice with TCD and EH-TCD for 2 weeks. This administration resulted in an increase in the weight of the spleen and thymus (200-800 mg/kg) and enhanced the proliferation rates of splenocytes (200-800 mg/kg). TCD and EH-TCD significantly increased the production of immunostimulatory cytokines (interleukin-10 and interleukin-2). In addition, TCD and EH-TCD increased serum IgG1 and IgG2a levels in a concentration-dependent manner. Particularly, EH-TCD had a greater immune-enhancing effect than TCD. These results suggest that TCD and EH-TCD exert immune-enhancing effects through an IgG antibody response and T cell activation, and EH-TCD can be used as an immunostimulatory agent.

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the enzymatic hydrolysis of tuna dark muscle (EH-TDM) and cooking drip (EH-TCD) as nutrition supplements in Bama mini-piglets. Our results showed that EH-TDM treatment produce considerable benefits for the Bama mini-piglets in terms of the feed efficiency, the prevention of oxidative damage and the control of blood lipid levels. The EH-TCD treatment also improved the growth performance, whereas all other aspects deteriorated.
