Pangasius Bone Powder (Definition, Production, Analysis Physicochemical Characteristics and Potency): A Review

Fish bones are a wasted and unused product though it contains high minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus, so that fish bones can be used as raw materials for making bone powder. The manufacture of pangasius bone powder generally goes through a heating process that aims to remove fat from the bones and can denature the protein. The physicochemical characteristics of pangasius bone powder greatly determine the use of the product and are related to the quality of the product. The physicochemical characteristics consisted of yield, bulk density, water content, ash content, fat content, protein content. The main potential of pangasius bone powder is as a source of calcium and phosphorus in meeting mineral needs for the body.
