lautnusantara.com The uses of shrimp head waste are diverse and offer high added value, particularly in the food and industrial sectors.

Here are some of the main uses of shrimp head and shell waste:

1. Food Ingredients and Natural Flavoring (Broth Powder):

• Shrimp heads and shells can be processed into bouillon powder (flavor) or natural powdered bouillon to replace synthetic flavorings such as MSG.
• This powder can be used to enhance the flavor and aroma of various dishes, including crackers, kemplang crackers, and as an instant seasoning.

2. Shrimp Head Flour:

• Shrimp head waste can be processed into shrimp head flour.
• This flour can be used as a raw material for animal feed (such as supplementary feed to improve the color of duck egg yolks) or to reduce dependence on fish meal and shrimp flour.

3. Shrimp Paste Raw Material:

• Shrimp head waste can also be processed into shrimp paste (a traditional culinary flavoring) through a fermentation process.
• Chemical and Industrial Products:
• Shrimp shells and heads contain valuable compounds, namely chitin and its derivative, chitosan.

4. Chitosan can be used for:

• Edible Coating: As a protective layer for food, for example, to extend the shelf life of tomatoes.
• Antibacterial Material: Chitosan has properties that can inhibit bacterial growth and is even used in toilet cleaning products.
• Food and Beverage Ingredients: Including additives for candy production.

5. Renewable Energy Source:

• Shrimp shell waste (along with other organic waste) can be used as raw material for biogas production.

Utilization of this waste aligns with the zero-waste concept and supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as Responsible Consumption and Production and Marine Ecosystems, by reducing environmental pollution.
