Abstract
Gamma irradiation (γ-irradiation) sterilizes and modifies proteins. This study aimed to enhance the performance of protein hydrolysates of fermented tilapia fish skin using irradiation. The results showed that γ-irradiation could effectively kill harmful microorganisms in fish skin at 6 kGy. Irradiation at 1–6 kGy dose disintegrated the internal structure of fish skin proteins, thus increasing the degree of hydrolysis after fermentation by Bacillus subtilis L4; however, irradiation at 9–12 kGy caused cross-linking and aggregation of fish skin proteins. The solubility, and water and oil holding capacity of the protein hydrolysates were significantly improved compared to those of the non-irradiated sample. The maximum emulsifying activity (164.61±16.28 m2/g), foaming activity (91.13±2.30 mL), and surface hydrophobicity index (5766.43±770.56) were observed in the protein hydrolysates fermented from fish skin irradiated at 12 kGy. The antioxidant activity of the protein hydrolysates increased with increasing irradiation doses. This suggested that the functional properties and antioxidant activity of protein hydrolysates from fish skin fermentation can be improved by appropriate irradiation pretreatment, providing a feasible method for improving the utilization and quality of proteins in fishery waste.

Official Journal of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering:
Part C
FBP aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in the branches of engineering and science dedicated to the safe processing of biological products. It is the only journal to exploit the synergy between biotechnology, bioprocessing and food engineering.
Papers showing how research results can be used in engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in equipment or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of food and bioproducts processing.
The journal has a strong emphasis on the interface between engineering and food or bioproducts. Papers that are not likely to be published are those:
• Primarily concerned with food formulation
• That use experimental design techniques to obtain response surfaces but gain little insight from them
• That are empirical and ignore established mechanistic models, e.g., empirical drying curves
• That are primarily concerned about sensory evaluation and colour
• Concern the extraction, encapsulation and/or antioxidant activity of a specific biological material without providing insight that could be applied to a similar but different material,
• Containing only chemical analyses of biological materials.
