Abstract

Marine fish-derived proteins and peptides are becoming the important resource for cosmetic industries. Several bioactive proteins and peptides were produced from marine fish via chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis and regarded as a safer option for the development of cosmeceutical products. The use of marine fish-derived proteins and peptides contribute to alleviating the environmental pollution caused by the waste generated by fish processing industries. Much attention has been paid to marine fish collagen for cosmeceutical applications owing its properties for skin hydration, with low odor and improved mechanical strength. In addition, marine fish-derived peptides have been extensively explored for cosmeceutical applications due to their various biological properties including antioxidant, antimicrobial, MMP inhibitor photoprotective, and anti-photo aging activities.
