Abstract:

This paper presents a series of researches on Mytilus galloprovincialis L. species: the procedure for obtaining a lyophilised extract (from the whole mussels) followed by the assessment of its biological activity (pepsin inhibitory action, antimicrobian activity) and a technology for obtaining calcium lactate from the mussel shells followed by the analysis of
the obtained calcium lactate, according to the methodology described in Romanian Pharmacopoeia Xth Edition (RPhX).
The success of the integral processing of mussels form the Black Sea for
industrial application is sustained by the following factors: low price of raw material, accessibility and abundance of raw material, compliance with the requirements linked to the protection of the environment and acknowledged nutritious and therapeutic potential of the raw material.
