description | Asian sea bass scales discarded from the fish processing industry contain collagen and calcium. The production of biocalcium can increase their value. The effect of alkaline pretreatment on non-collagenous protein removal from scales was investigated. The alkaline pretreatment of scales was optimal when 2 M NaOH solution was used for 10 min. The impacts of heating processes of varying times on chemical compositions and characteristics of biocalcium (BC) powder from alkali-pretreated scales were also studied. A lower loss of hydroxyproline (HYP) and decreased hardness of scales were obtained when the scales were treated with a boiling process. BC powders from the scales subjected to boiling (B-BC) had higher yield and HYP content than BC powders using a high-pressure heating (HP-BC) process. An augmented heating time (10–30 min) lowered yield, HYP, moisture, and protein contents in BC powder regardless of the heating processes. HP-BC powder had higher ash, calcium, and phosphorus contents than B-BC powder. A whiter color and larger mean particle size were attained for the B-BC powders. X-ray diffractograms revealed that all BC powders had hydroxyapatite, which had a crystallinity of 53.60–66.54%, as a major component. FTIR spectra confirmed that all BC powders comprised proteins and inorganic matter. BC powder from scales with high yield and satisfactory characteristics could be used in calcium supplements. |
