Abstract
|
The meat industry produces a lot of waste, which
contains large amounts of the organics and nutrients.
Animal by-products have potential for biomaterial extraction.
The use of bio-material, which can be obtained from
plant sources, microorganisms, agricultural, and animal
waste are nowadays favored because of their compatible,
cost-effective, and low-risk for removal of pollutants,
compared to chemical and physical methods. In this study,
a biopolymer from meat by-product extracted by methanolchloroform
and characterized by FTIR, GC–MS, HPLC,
and SDS-PAGE analyzes. The extracted biomaterial was
useful in water desalination by calcium carbonate precipitation
and heavy metals removal, which was confirmed by
FTIR and ICP analyzes. The extracted biomaterial also has
antibacterial properties against Pseudomonas aeruginosa
and Escherichia coli without toxicity to human blood cells,
which can make it useful in industries such as its application
in fish ponds.
