Sustainable Seafood: Using PEF to Transform Sea Bass By-Products into Bioactive Gold

This research article explores the potential of pulsed electric field (PEF) technology for valorizing sea bass by-products. The study examines the protein content, bioactive peptides, minerals, and heavy metals in both solid matrices and liquid extracts obtained from the heads, skin, viscera, and muscle of sea bass treated with PEF. The authors found that PEF, in combination with various extraction solvents, can enhance the recovery of high-value compounds, such as bioactive peptides and minerals, from sea bass by-products, offering promising applications for a circular economy in the fishing industry.
