Fish is a rich source of protein. It contains high amounts of polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, a balanced amino acid ratio, minerals, vitamins and other nutrients. Fish protein concentrate is a stable fish preparation intended for human consumption that contains a higher protein concentration than fish.
It is safe for human consumption because FPC can be used as a supplement to staple foods, has high-quality protein and is low-priced.
FPC (fish protein concentrate), like other such products, can be said to have a dual effect. Through its direct (additive) effect, it increases the content of required nutrients in the diet. Through its indirect (enhancement) action, it increases total dietary utilization. For example, adding animal protein to FPC can better utilize plant-based protein in the diet. Minerals such as iron in FPC can well complement those in the main diet, as the iron in the latter is better absorbed in the presence of FPC protein. Increasing iron intake, especially increasing total dietary iron utilization, is critical to maintaining health. Continuous formation of new red blood cells prevents iron deficiency anemia. These are just some of the important factors that FPC uses to support growth and maintain health. The systematic use of fish concentrates has long proven advantages in livestock farming, and its potential to improve human nutrition and health is increasingly recognized.
