Transforming Seafood Waste into Sustainable, High-Value Ingredients

At APQA Private Limited, we believe that sustainability begins at the source. We are a purpose-driven ingredient manufacturing company committed to upcycling seafood waste into high-quality, food-grade products for the food, pet food, and nutraceutical industries.

Our operations are rooted in a zero-waste philosophy, where every input is utilized, and nothing goes to waste. We source responsibly from verified, local seafood processing partners such as Jagadeesh Marine in Bhimavaram, who provide us with traceable shrimp shells, heads, and other crustacean by-products. For our fish-based ingredients, we use only freshwater fish scales from Rohu, Catla, and Tilapia, ensuring consistency, traceability, purity, and safety.

These raw materials, once considered waste, are transformed in our facilities using advanced enzymatic and biotechnological processes. Through strict quality control, traceability, and adherence to international food-grade standards, we create high-value ingredients like shrimp protein hydrolysate, shrimp oil, fish collagen, gelatin, biopolymer chitin, and more.
