The objective of this thesis was to study various aspects on carotenoprotein extraction from shrimp residues, treated by enzymatic means in order to split the protein and pigment moieties. Purification and concentration of these two components by a membrane process in an enzymatic bioreactor was also studied. Shrimp residues were...
Fisheries activities produce large quantities of non-recycled wastes all over the world. In Mexico, shrimp commercial captures and cultures generate high quantities of non-used heads. It is calculated that these wastes reach up to 32,000 annual tons and only 5% is converted in shrimp meal. In the present work we...

The purpose of this study was the lactic acid fermentation of three sources of fish wastes: Shrimp by catch (SC), Sphyraena ensis wastes (SB) and mixture of...
