Abstract

Fish waste, if not managed properly, poses a significant environmental threat. Scientists worldwide have been exploring innovative ways to utilize this resource, finding applications in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. One promising avenue is isolating bioactive peptides from Catla catla fish waste and assessing their antioxidant potential. Using Papain digestion, fractions were obtained from Catla catla liver waste, showing significant antioxidant activity, especially those with molecular weights of 10-100 kDa. These fractions, derived from 2% Papain digestion for 180 minutes, displayed the highest DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity. They hold promise for further investigation as potential anticarcinogenic agents. This study highlights the potential of fish waste, particularly from Catla catla liver, as a source of bioactive peptides with antioxidant properties. Further research into these fractions could lead to the development of nutraceuticals with such antioxidant peptides.
