FISH PROTEIN HYDROLYSATS FOR THEIR USE IN THE PREVENTION AND / OR TREATMENT OF METABOLIC DISORDERS SUCH AS METABOLIC SYNDROME, PARTICULARLY ASSOCIATED WITH OBESITY.
The present invention relates to fish-protein hydroysates used in preventing and/or treating metabolic disorders, such as metabolic syndrome particularly associated with obesity. According to the invention, the fish-protein hydrolysates are obtained by means of the enzymatic hydrolysis of at least one protein source selected from the group including the following fish: Micromesistius poutassou, Clupea harengus, Scomber scombrus, Sardina pilchardus,Trisopterus esmarki, Trachurus spp., Gadus morhua, Pollachius virens, Melanogrammus aeglefinus, Coryphaenoides rupestris, and fish belonging to order Siluriformes, wherein said enzymatic hydrolysis is carried out using an endopeptidase enzyme derived from Bacillus subtilis.
