Provided herein is a method of reducing postprandial concentrations of glucose in a subject's blood comprising administering to the subject, prior to or during a meal, an effective amount of a combination of a marine peptide and a fish nucleotide, sufficient to reduce the glucose concentration in the subject's blood. Further provided herein is a method of reducing postprandial concentration of ghrelin in a subject's blood, comprising administering to the subject, prior to or during a meal, an effective amount of a combination of a marine peptide and a fish nucleotide sufficient to increase the blood component wherein the combination is administered to the subject.

A product for cooking a food in oil and/or fat is provided. An adjusted pH protein suspension is produced in an aqueous or dry form and includes myofibrillar proteins and sarcoplasmic proteins substantially free of myofibrils and sarcomeres. The amount of oil and/or fat absorbed by the food during cooking is substantially reduced while the food retains its color and taste.

Provided herein are marine peptides for use in increasing muscle mass and growth and enhancing muscle recovery. The peptides provided herein are useful as nutritional supplements, food, functional foods, and as pharmaceutical formulations.

Systems and methods for producing protein powder are disclosed. In various embodiments, protein powder is prepared by a process comprising sanitizing raw material from aquatic animals mixture with ozone, combining the raw material with a solvent to create a mixture, baking the combined mixture for a first time period, separating, with a filter, liquid from the combined mixture that was baked for the first time period, baking the combined mixture without the separated liquid for a second time period, separating, with a filter, liquid from the combined mixture that was baked for the second time period, curing the combined mixture, and processing the cured mixture to produce protein powder.

The present invention was made in view of an object to produce a novel proteoglycan-containing material, and find a novel use and/or a superior effect of the proteoglycan-containing material. The present invention provides a proteoglycan-containing material obtained from fish cartilage, wherein the proteoglycan-containing material comprises an acidic saccharide component having a molecular weight of not less than 2000 kDa. The proteoglycan-containing material provides advantageous effects for skin-moisturizing and skin anti-aging, including a superior skin fibroblast proliferation effect, an effect of enhancing and improving the skin barrier function, an effect of enhancing and improving the skin's capability to produce collagen, a dermis-thickening inhibition effect, and the like.
