Loch Duart selling salmon guts, heads, bones to Cellper for dietary supplement
SEAFOODNEWS.COM [Press Journal] By Erikka Askeland - July 9, 2014 -
A Scottish salmon farmer has struck a deal to sell fish guts to make a food supplement that aims to help overcome global starvation.
Loch Duart will supply 450 tonnes of salmon viscera (guts), heads and bones to CellsUnited, which has developed a formula for a high-protein nutritional compound.
The process, developed for the Russian space programme, produces a form of balanced protein that can be used by people suffering from malnutrition in third-world countries, but can also be used by people in richer countries who have problems digesting protein.
Currently, when salmon are prepared for human consumption, the guts must be disposed of and incinerated, while heads, tails and bones are processed and sold for low-grade applications such as fertiliser and pet food.
