A biological clean processing approach for the valorization of speckled shrimp Metapenaeus monoceros by-product as a source of bioactive compounds

The efficiency of the proteolytic strain Anoxybacillus kamchatkensis M1V in the fermentation of speckled shrimp by-product was investigated for the recovery of a deproteinized bioactive hydrolysate. The biological activities of the resulting hydrolysate were also examined by applying several antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory assays. The strain M1V was found to produce high level of protease activity (2000 U/mL) when grown in media containing only shrimp powder at 25 g/L. The crude protease displayed a significant deproteinization capabiliy, with the best efficiency (48%) being recorded for an enzyme to substrate (E/S) ratio of 30 U/mg. Following the deproteinization, chitin was recovered and the authenticity was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. On the other hand, the obtained hydrolysate showed a significant enzymatic inhibitory potential against acetylcholinesterase, tyrosinase, amylase, and angiotensin I convertase, and a strong antioxidant activity.
