Functional Pet Food with Fish Protein Hydrolysates Sustainable Nutrition for Healthier Pets
Overview Fish Protein Hydrolysates (FPHs) are derived from marine by-products such as bones, skin, viscera, and scales through enzymatic hydrolysis. Unlike conventional protein sources, FPHs are ideal for hypoallergenic, highly digestible, and functional pet food formulations.
Production Insight Enzymes used: Alcalase, papain, proteases Result: Small peptides with enhanced functional bioactivity
Benefits Eco-friendly by-product utilization High protein bioavailability Ideal for sensitive or allergic pets
Bioactive Advantages Antioxidant Activity – Neutralizes free radicals Anti-inflammatory Effects – Inhibits COX-2, TNF-α, and interleukins Gut Microbiome Support – Promotes balance & fights pathogens Hypoallergenic – Reduces allergic responses
Nutritional Profile Rich amino acid spectrum Easily absorbed due to short peptide chains
Sustainability & Circular Economy Eco-Friendly Sourcing: Marine by-products converted into valuable pet food ingredients Circular Economy: Reduces waste by turning fish waste into highquality nutrition Aligns with Consumer Demand: Meets the growing trend for sustainable, eco-conscious pet products
FPHs in Pet Food – Manufacturer's Roadmap Procure Raw Material: Partner with fisheries for marine by-products Optimize Hydrolysis: Collaborate with enzyme specialists Pilot Feeding Trials: Assess antioxidant, gut health outcomes Substantiate Claims: Use DPPH/FRAP and in vivo evidence Label & Comply: Ensure claims meet FEDIAF/AFFCO guidelines Sustain the Supply Chain: Maintain traceability and eco-compliance
