Scientists find ways to use fish waste in pharmaceuticals, dietary, nutrition, and cosmetics
A research team led by SINTEF Ocean in collaboration with several research partners, including the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and the Technical University of Denmark, is developing technologies to upcycle fish residues, particularly fish skin, for producing collagen and gelatin, which are essential ingredients in pharmaceuticals, dietary, nutrition, and cosmetics products. The project aims to tap into over a million tons of fish byproducts to alleviate shortages in the food and cosmetic industries.
