INTRODUCTION
Fish protein concentrates (F PC's)
are made by processes which concentrate fi h protei n into a more stable
form. As a form of animal protein,
FPC's can suppl ement vegetable proteins very effective ly. Added in low
concentrations th ey ca n markedly improve the nutritive valu e of bread and
many ot her common foods by supplying certain essential amino acids deficient in vegetable proteins. Produced
from species of fish not normally used
as food , the y are an inexpe nsive sou rce
of anima l prot e in and cou ld provide a
profitable use for so me of our presently
underuti Iized or latent resources.

bj three S-Iller (1.3 ga ll on) batches
plu a 20-gallon batch for each proce~s .
Three processes were also tested in
run with the fatty fish alewife (AlOIa

the all..aline protease Alcalase . A\erage
) leld and chemical composition~ of
raw fish and of the hydrolysates prepared from hal..e and alewi fe b) each
of t\\ O proces~es are li~ted in Table 2 .
Pro tei n efficiency ratios (PER \)
were de term in ed by rat feeding trials
with the hydro lysa tes of hal..e and a lewife a nd a re listed in Table 3 . The
prod uct s prepared from hal..e were inferior to casein as a so le source of protein. but were tati tically equiva lent
to casein as a suppl ement to whea t
