Peer-reviewed literature establishes that chicken feet contain significant amounts of collagen and serve as a viable source for dietary and commercial collagen extraction.
Hypertension (HTN) is the leading cause of premature deaths worldwide and the main preventable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, there is a current need for new therapeutics to manage this condition. In this regard, protein hydrolysates containing antihypertensive bioactive peptides are of increasing interest. Thus, agri-food industry byproducts have emerged as a valuable source to obtain these hydrolysates as they are rich in proteins and inexpensive. Among these, byproducts from animal origin stand out as they are abundantly generated worldwide. Hence, this review is focused on evaluating the potential role of chicken slaughterhouse byproducts as a source of peptides for managing HTN. Several of these byproducts such as blood, bones, skins, and especially, chicken feet have been used to obtain protein hydrolysates with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory activity and blood pressure-lowering effects. An increase in levels of endogenous antioxidant compounds, a reduction in ACE activity, and an improvement of HTN-associated endothelial dysfunction were the mechanisms underlying their effects. However, most of these studies were carried out in animal models, and further clinical studies are needed in order to confirm these antihypertensive properties. This would increase the value of these byproducts, contributing to the circular economy model of slaughterhouses.
Chicken feet can be used as an alternative source of collagen for the development of new products. In this sense, the aim of this study was the production of a product similar to gelatin from collagen extracted from chicken feet and the evaluation of sensory quality. The products were produced in two distinct flavors, with grape flavor called GU and pineapple flavor called GA. Subsequently, we compared these formulations with gelatin of a trademark established in the market. We used in the verification of sensory acceptability of products a hedonic scale of 9 points and the availability of consuming the product by 30 untrained tasters. According to the results, all formulations showed good levels of acceptability, indicating the collagen from chicken feet as an alternative source of high quality in the production of gelatin.
Maize contains several essential nutrients that are well-known for their contribution to food studies. This crop is an alternative carbohydrate source. Considering the increase in maize production and health advantages, it is the right decision to utilize the crop as an ingredient of snacks, such as crispy maize. Chicken feet are rich in collagen and protein. Despite the unpopularity, chicken feet contain nutrition that helps the growth and development of children. The present study was devoted to analyze the nutrient content of crispy corn. Relying on an experimental method, the treatment was done by substituting chicken feet flour on crispy corn; it consisted of five treatment levels with three replications. The quality of the crispy corn with chicken feet flour was assessed objectively in a laboratory by doing some analytical methods, including proximate analysis, energy analysis, calcium analysis, dietary fibre analysis, and iron analysis. Data analysis procedures were carried out to examine the effect of chicken feet flour on the snack's chemical quality. This process involved the ANOVA test and LSD test. The results showed that the addition of chicken feet flour enhanced the nutritional value of the crispy corn product; this is seen in the rise in the content of energy, protein, fat, water, and ash. The most recommended formula is F3, the crispy corn with 45 g of chicken feet flour.
Background: Malnutrition leads to weakened immunity, making children more susceptible to infectious diseases and affecting future generations if not promptly addressed. Chicken feet bones (Gallus gallus domesticus) are a food waste product rich in calcium, while mung beans (Vigna radiata) are high in vitamins and minerals, making them potential sources of additional nutrition. This study aims to investigate the processing of Hi-C Crackers using chicken feet bones and mung beans, analyze its macronutrient content qualitatively, and determine its calcium content qualitatively. Methods: This expe
Chicken sausage is a popular processed meat product, but there is a growing need to improve its nutritional quality and the sustainability of its raw materials. The use of chicken by-products such as belly fat, chicken skin, chicken feet collagen and chicken liver as additives can affect the physical and chemical characteristics of sausages. This review discusses the effect of each ingredient on the physical quality and chemical composition of the final product based on literature analysis. Results showed that belly fat improved sausage brightness and fat content, chicken skin improved water b
