Abstract

Fish is recognized as a valuable source of both micro and macronutrients. However, its consumption remains inadequate due to various barriers, such as cost, sensory preferences, and availability. Meanwhile, convenience foods have gained popularity due to their utility, affordability, and accessibility. This review explores the integration of various fish derived products into convenience foods to address inadequate consumption. Given the inherent perishability of fish, converting it into a relatively stable form can help mitigate these problems to some extent. Various fish-derived products, including Fish protein concentrate (FPC) or Fish powder, Fish protein hydrolysate (FPH), Fish oil, and Fish calcium are a few that find potential application in various foods and are examined in this review along with their incorporation levels.
