    The byproduct obtained from gut of fish:
    Question

    The byproduct obtained from gut of fish:

    A.

    Pearl essence

    B.

    Caviar

    C.

    Gum

    D.

    Surgical sutures

    Correct option is D


    Fish gut (rich in collagen and connective tissue) can be processed to produce absorbable suture material similar to traditional “catgut.”
    Source material: intestinal submucosa/collagen fibers.
    Processing: cleaning → degreasing → sterilization → twisting into threads.
    Properties: biodegradable, tensile strength adequate for soft-tissue closure, gradually absorbed by proteolytic enzymes.
    Uses / Applications
    Historically used in surgical procedures where absorbable stitches are required.
    Useful in regions with limited access to synthetic absorbable sutures.
    Notes on other options
    Pearl essence: from fish scales (ground to produce pearlescent powder).
    Caviar: fish roe (eggs).
    Gum: plant-derived; not from fish.
