Abstract
Addressing sarcopenia and frailty in aging populations is crucial for improving quality of life and reducing healthcare dependence among these patients. Although no specific drugs have been approved for treating sarcopenia, protein supplements rich in branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) have been reported to increase muscle mass and function in elderly individuals. Fermentation of salmon placenta protein is an effective approach to improve BCAA content compared to previous sarcopenia-related protein supplements. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate BCAA content through salmon placenta protein (Sal) fermented with

Research summary
The paper claims that fermentation of salmon placenta protein can enhance BCAA content, potentially improving muscle mass and function in elderly individuals. This research addresses sarcopenia, a significant age-related condition, and explores a novel protein source, contributing to the understanding of interventions that may improve quality of life in aging populations.
