Fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis allows for smart valorization of fish side streams. However, further treatments are normally needed to enhance bioactive and functional properties of the obtained FPH. At present, the commonly used methods to improve functional properties of FPH include chemical and enzymatic modification. Chemical treatments often cause environmental problems, while the enzymatic modification method requires the use of quite expensive enzymes. In recent years, emerging technologies such as ultrasound treatment (US-treatment) have shown great potential in protein modification with high efficiency and safety, low energy consumption, and low nutritional destructiveness. In this study, high-power ultrasound treatments were applied to fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) extracted from Atlantic mackerel (
