As a traditional health product in China,fish maw has a wide range of suitable consumers,high value potential,good health effects and high nutritional value.In recent years,with the increasing demand for fish maw,the source of fish maw has expanded to all over the world,leading to problems such as name confusion.Currently,the legal standards of fish maw in China have not been fully developed,and the identification technology is relatively backward,mostly relying on manual identification,which makes it difficult to accurately measure whether there are problems such as substandard fish maw,heavy metals,veterinary drug residues,and hormone exceeding the standard,and the safety of fish maw has to be considered.This study summarizes the names and categories of common fish maw,outlines its nutritional value and beneficial components,and reviews the current status of its application in the food industry.In addition,the comprehensive domestic and international research on the current status of food safety of fish maw and the existing identification techniques were outlined.The aim is to offer a reference for the deep processing and utilization of fish maw and the formulation of relevant regulations and standards,as well as to provide new ideas for exploring more convenient fish maw authenticity identification techniques and the development of health foods for human consumption.
