Abstract

The meat industry produces a lot of waste, which contains large amounts of the organics and nutrients. Animal by-products have potential for biomaterial extraction. The use of bio-material, which can be obtained from plant sources, microorganisms, agricultural, and animal waste are nowadays favored because of their compatible, cost-effective, and low-risk for removal of pollutants, compared to chemical and physical methods. In this study, a biopolymer from meat by-product extracted by methanol-chloroform and characterized by FTIR, GC–MS, HPLC, and SDS-PAGE analyzes. The extracted biomaterial was useful in water desalination by calcium carbonate precipitation and heavy metals removal, which was confirmed by FTIR and ICP analyzes. The extracted biomaterial also has antibacterial properties against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli without toxicity to human blood cells, which can make it useful in industries such as its application in fish ponds.
