Biopolymers

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Polymer and Composite Materials ((SSPCM))

Abstract

The exponential rise in fish-derived biopolymers in the form of nets, gears, food packaging material, lures and traps has revolutionized the fishing industry in the recent years. The promising usage and emerging market potential of biodegradable films has resulted in the circular economy. This chapter summarizes re-use of fish by-products such as chitin, chitosan, collagen, glycosaminoglycans, and hyaluronic acids in multiple applications. The raw fish-derived biomaterial from skin, scales, fins, and eyeballs has good flexibility, tensile strength, and viscosity; thus, commercially viable as a protective matrix. The fabricated fishery waste is recycled in an ecofriendly way to meet the growing market demand. Additionally, the prominent market players that utilizes fish-derived biopolymer to prepare daily essentials like toiletries, paper bags, food packaging material, bottles, textiles are enlisted. Further, various biopolymer typologies of fishery industry are described in detail based on the source of origin, physical appearance and their significant role in pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical, nutraceutical, nanotechnological, and food applications. However, due to some technological barriers in packaging material like film permeability, porosity, oxidation of lipids, discoloration etc. the bioproducts are still at lab-scale; that need to be addressed to reach industrial-scale. Moreover, the chapter discuss about the sustainable strategies to design fish binders, gill nets, fishing lines, traps etc. that should be transparent, fragile, dissolvable to avoid ghost fishing and capable to boost the ecological restoration of aquatic bodies. Finally, it covers the commercial aspect of the seafood industry, where the fishery biopolymer is used as an edible functional food, as a biodegradable preservative with enhanced shelf-life and as a bioadsorbent to remove toxic compounds. Over the last few years, the nanotechnological advancement of biopolymers and their blends have been exploited to treat wastewaters for reuse in seafood processing industry. Therefore, the hybrid polymers are considered environmentally safe and far superior to synthetic polymers if redesigned at molecular and nanoscale level to minimize the bioburden on aquatic life.
