lautnusantara.com Fish skin extract has potential as an antimicrobial agent due to its bioactive compounds. Various studies have shown that proteins, peptides, and fatty acids from fish skin waste can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and fungi.

Antimicrobial Mechanisms
Proteins and peptides from fish skin have the ability to damage microbial cell membranes, causing leakage of cell contents and ultimately their death. One of the most studied types of peptides is antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). AMPs have a unique structure that allows them to interact with the cell membranes of bacteria, both gram-positive and gram-negative, as well as some types of fungi.

Potential Applications
The use of fish skin extract as an antimicrobial agent has a variety of applications:

• Natural Food Preservative: This extract can be used as an alternative to synthetic chemical preservatives in the food industry. This way, food products can have a longer shelf life without the use of potentially harmful chemicals.
• Pharmaceutical Industry: Antimicrobial compounds from fish skin can be developed into ointments or creams to treat skin infections. The natural properties of this extract also reduce the risk of side effects compared to synthetic antibiotics.
• Cosmetic Raw Material: Fish skin extract can be added to skin care products, such as facial washes or toners, to help address bacterial skin issues, such as acne.

By utilizing fish skin waste, we not only find a natural solution to antimicrobial problems but also contribute to the circular economy and reduce waste from the fishing industry.
