Valorisation of Cardoon Leaves and Lemon Peel for Potential Active Food Packaging: Impact of Drying on Nutritional Profile and Functional Performance of Whey Protein Films

Despite being usually discarded, agro-industrial by-products are rich in bioactive and nutritional compounds and can be redirected into new foods or food packaging. This study evaluated the nutritional composition of cardoon leaves (Cynara cardunculus L.), an agro-industrial by-product, and assessed the impact of the d...

Chitosan-Based Active Films Enriched with Protein Hydrolysates Derived from Cod Backbone By-Products: Development and Characterization

Fish processing by-products represent an abundant source of valuable biomolecules that can be valorized through sustainable extraction approaches. In this work, cod backbone hydrolysates obtained by subcritical water hydrolysis were incorporated into chitosan-based films for potential food packaging applications. The h...

The Use of Bioactive Extracts from Fish By-Products in Improving Microbiological Stability of Fish Based Food

Fish is a food of high nutritional value, being an important source of proteins, fat, vitamins, and essential minerals. Atlantic horse mackerel is also rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n3-PUFAs), recognized for their benefits to cardiovascular and neurological health. However, this composition also makes it...
