Description
Summary:The major portion of the marine area is polluted with waste of marine organism that creates severe environmental problems. This includes oyster, snail, mollusca, prawn, crab, shrimp, lobster, crab shell, mussels to name a few. This waste material, is a rich source of nutrients and chemicals, such as proteins, amino acids, minerals, enzymes, chitin, carotenoids, calcium, calcium carbonate. Unfortunately, these resources are underutilized and they are discarded into the environment. However, there are many ways to treat these marine resources to extract valuable chemicals and food, as well as pharmaceutical, nutraceuticals and biomedical agents. This paper is focused on the extraction and usage of value-added products originating from marine resources.
