Collagen hydrolyzates #CAS92113-31-0

Hydrolyzed collagen is a mixture of low-molecular-weight polypeptide fragments obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of collagen. It is soluble in water, and the dissolution rate is faster than native collagen. Its aqueous solution shows weak acidity to neutrality. It maintains stable properties under normal temperature and neutral or weakly alkaline conditions. When heated for a long time at high temperature, peptide bonds may break, leading to further degradation of peptides and changes in molecular weight distribution. It can undergo hydrolysis under strong acid or strong alkaline heating conditions to break down into free amino acids. It has good compatibility with most water-soluble additives, such as sugars, polyols, surfactants and preservatives. It can absorb moisture from the environment and shows obvious hygroscopicity. It is easy to be affected by microorganisms, so it will go bad and produce peculiar smell if stored in high humidity environment for a long time. It does not have violent chemical reactions under conventional storage and usage conditions. It can react with crosslinking agents to form polymer networks, and also has the ability to chelate metal ions.

Applicaion of Collagen hydrolyzates

Hydrolyzed collagen, also known as collagen peptide, is widely used in food, dietary supplement, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. In the health food and dietary supplement field, it is commonly made into oral powder, tablets, capsules and drinks. It can be absorbed easily by the human body, helping to support skin health, maintain joint flexibility and supplement amino acids needed by the body. In the cosmetic and personal care industry, it is added into facial serums, creams, masks, shampoos and hair conditioners. It can moisturize skin and hair, improve skin elasticity, reduce rough feeling, and form a thin protective film on the surface of skin and hair. In the food industry, it serves as nutritional fortifier, water retention agent and texture improver in meat products, dairy products, baked goods and functional beverages, improving tenderness and mouthfeel of food. In the pharmaceutical industry, it can be used as excipient, sustained-release carrier and raw material for wound dressing, which is beneficial to skin repair. In the feed industry, it is added into pet feed and aquaculture feed as a nutritional additive to promote animal growth and improve the health of fur and skin. Besides, it is also applied in biological culture, biochemical reagent and high-grade water-soluble coating systems as a film-forming agent and nutritional component.
