What is it about?
In this study, we developed an effective method to remove cadmium (Cd) from scallop byproduct enzymatic hydrolysate and the Cd bonding sites with macromolecular were also studied.

Why is it important?
Marine shellfishes are widely produced worldwide and the scallop is one of the major species of marine shellfishes, ranked the third among all shellfishes product. During processing, the gonad and the viscera, which account for one-third of the total scallop meat, are typically discarded. This practice leads to not only waste of valuable biomass, but also potential sources for environmental pollution. The high heavy metal contaimination inhibited the exploitation of its byproduct. Therefore, how to remove heavy metal from scallop byproduct is a key for better handling of these valuable biomass.
Perspectives
The byproduct exploitation of sea food is an important issue to keep future mankind food supply. However, there are some trobles that inhibite these efforts, such as the heavy metal contaimination. How to develop a safe and effective method to solve this problem is a key question. I hope someone can design a more better method to solve this problem in the future.
