PhD Oral Defence: Salmon skin gelatin extracted from trypsin-aided process for film with improved water resistance

PhD Oral Defence of Hui Yin Fan, Food Science and Agricultural Chemistry

Enzyme-aided process has successfully extracted fish skin gelatins with improved yields, but the high hygroscopicity of gelatin leads to the formation of films with poor water barrier properties. This research aims at investigating the recovery of gelatin from fish skins and to form films with improved water resistance.
