Abstract

Around a billion people in the world have inadequate protein intake, leading to reduced growth and development. In growing interest to find alternative protein sources, several studies have been carried out on new protein ingredients, including fish protein powder (FPP), single cell protein, and leaf proteins. FPP, extracted from either underutilized species or byproducts of the fish industry, is one of such alternatives and have been studied for a couple of decades. It contains a concentrated protein intended for human consumption. In view of assessing the suitability for further processing and product development, profiling the nutritional and techno-functional properties of FPP produced from different fish species is pertinent. This study evaluated the proximate composition, some mineral content and techno-functional properties of FPP extracted from small barbus (Barbus paludinosus) species. A mince of gutted fish was used to extract the protein powder using isopropyl alcohol. The average moisture, protein, ash and fat content were found 3.07%, 72.38%, 24.37%, and 1.9%, respectively. The mineral analysis of the FPP has showed high concentration of Phosphorous, Calcium, Potassium and Sodium. Techno functional attributes of the FPP were also comparable with FPP products from other species. Generally, protein powders from underutilized fish (Barbus paludinosus) could be used to formulate nutritionally improved products with satisfactory techno functional properties.
