In this research, gelatin was extracted from various by-products of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) (SC) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) (RT), including skin, soft tissue, head, and vertebrae. The extracted gelatins were evaluated for proximate composition, molecular weight, functional properties, and structural characteristics. The findings revealed that the protein content of the gelatin samples ranged from 69.25% to 85.75%, with fat levels below 1.5%. The highest moisture content was observed in RT-skin gelatin (16.8%), while the lowest was found in RT-vertebral bone gelatin (2.97%). SDS-PAGE analysis showed clear 1α (~114–121 kDa) and 2α (~100–112 kDa) chains in skin and cranial soft tissue gelatins, whereas bone-derived samples lacked distinct bands, indicating extensive collagen degradation due to harsh acid treatment. In terms of viscosity, the highest value (11 cP) was recorded for SC-cranial soft tissue gelatin, and the lowest (2.6 cP) for RT-head gelatin. Gel strength ranged from 573.5 g (SC-skin) to 19.6 g (RT-head). The melting point of SC-gelatins was significantly higher than that of RT, with some samples approaching values similar to bovine skin gelatin. SC-vertebral bone gelatin exhibited the greatest foaming capacity (120 ± 2%), while SC-head gelatin demonstrated the highest foam stability (48.03 ± 2.12%). These results suggest that non-commercial by-products from these two fish species, especially SC-skin and cranial soft tissue, represent valuable potential sources for producing high-quality gelatin for food applications.
