In this last case, microbial bioconversion of marine peptones was studied by Pediococcus acidilacti growth, a well-known valuable lactic acid bacterium, and the concomitant production of lactic acid and pediocin SA-1. Highly digestible FPHs with a good quality of amino acids composition and antioxidant and antihypertensive properties were easily produced. In the same bioprocess, fish oils with a healthy ω-3/ ω-6 ratio were also isolated. The use of peptones derived from FPHs as bacterial media nutrient (source of organic nitrogen) led to reduction of bioproductions costs between 2–5 folds in comparison with commercial culture medium.
