COLAN-RAMOS, Claudio; GOMEZ-SANCHEZ, Muriel; ALCAZAR-ZAMORA, Juan Arturo  and  AGUIRRE-VELARDE, Arturo. Use of soft waste of the Peruvian scallops Argopecten purpuratus (Lamarck, 1819) to produce high protein meal. Rev. investig. vet. Perú [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.2, pp.961-966.

The scallop soft waste obtained during processing is discarded, generating environmental liabilities to the mariculture industry in Peru. However, these residues constitute a potential raw material to produce meal for balanced feeds. In this sense, a methodology was developed for the elaboration of meal from the soft residues of the Peruvian scallop. The product obtained had a composition of 61% protein, 7.5% fat and 11.7% moisture. The development of technologies that allow the processing of large volumes of waste could contribute to the more efficient and profitable use of this raw material.
