Scholarcy highlights
- In Malaysia, especially in Terengganu, the production of keropok lekor is over 144 million tons annually
- Previous studies determined that the calcium content of fish bones is high
- Fish samples Fish bones were collected from the local fish processing industry in Kuala Nerus, Terengganu, Malaysia, and were brought to the hatchery at Universiti Malaysia Terengganu
- The protein content of S. fimbriata and C. gariepinus bones was calculated based on the following formulas: N = F x 14 x x) / × 100
- S. fimbriata bone demonstrated higher solubility compared to the C. gariepinus bone
- Previous studies have confirmed that bones from low-value species like Sardinella spp. are rich in calcium content; it should be recommended for human consumption either directly or indirectly through the production of calciumenriched nutraceuticals
- Cytotoxicity testing could be carried out to determine the effect of calcium absorption from the bones of different fish species
