Valorization of Rhopilema hispidum By-Products for Bioactive Peptides with Antibacterial, Enzyme Inhibitory, and Low Cytotoxic Activities

This study delves into the enzymatic hydrolysis of low-cost salted jellyfish (Rhopilema hispidum) by-products using pepsin to generate bioactive peptides that possess multifunctional properties. The resulting hydrolysates were purified and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli.
