Overview

Fishery and marine product processing research aims to investigate various marine resources as raw materials for food, health, and cosmetics. As we know, Indonesia has great marine resource potential, both in the form of fish as food and a source of protein, as well as marine biota or their by-products that can be utilized because they contain active ingredients. Because of containing a wide variety of active compounds that have great potential, particularly as raw materials for the manufacture of cosmetic products and their derivatives, there has been a significant increase in the amount of study conducted on the subject over the past few years. Moreover, concerns among consumers about the safety of the chemicals used as active ingredients in a wide variety of commercial cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations today have also contributed to a rise in interest in marine organisms as raw materials for these industries. To this end, several cosmetics and pharmaceutical companies are looking for more eco-friendly alternatives, such as marine components.

The studies that have been done include:

Collagen extraction from tuna fish by-products (skin and bones) as a raw material for anti-aging serum
Making organic masks from green mussel shell waste
Body scrubs made from oyster shell waste
