asia pacific fish protein hydrolysate Market

The Asia Pacific fish protein hydrolysate market is accounted to US$ 86.2 Mn in 2018 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% to account to US$ 143.6 Mn by 2027 during the forecast period 2019 ? 2027.

Fish protein hydrolysate is a bioactive compound that is a blend of degraded proteins extracted by the hydrolysis of protein extracted from fish material or fish. It is generally produced through enzymatic hydrolysis technique that involves decomposing the minced fish together with enzymes, and the hydrolysis process gives out smaller peptides and amino acids as major products. The enzymatic hydrolysis requires the use of expensive enzymes, such as chymotrypsin, pepsin, alcalase, and trypsin, which increases the cost of production. The dried fish protein hydrolysate manufacturing involves a complex process of removal of moisture content and results in substantial energy requirements, which further shoot the production cost. The production of dried fish protein hydrolysate involves the removal of moisture content, which is a complex step that results in substantial energy requirements, which further adds to the cost.
