Engineering aspects of a new process for producing dry larval feed

This paper summarizes the progress being made in the study of a specific biological process for digesting fish proteins to produce the highly functional pepsin fish protein hydrolysate (PFPH).The composition and approximate analysis of the fish protein are presented, together with the nutritional values. A detailed amino acid analysis of PFPH prepared from deboned flesh is compared against other standards.Finally, the paper comments on the unit operations which, by necessity, are being investigated to produce PFPH and the final product, dry larval feed.
