- Abstract
Collagen is a protein in human and mammalian bones, muscles, epidermis, fish waste, cartilage, and other tissues and collagenases are proteolytic enzymes. Because of its unique characteristics, such as high biocompatibility, excellent bioactivity and low antigenicity, it has a wide range of applications in pharmaceutical, biomedical and cosmetics. This study removed collagen from “Sardinella longiceps” (flesh, cartilage and wastes) and hydrolysed it at 550 C for 30 to 60 minutes. Hydrolysates were obtained and tested for antioxidant activity by ABTS and superoxide scavenger activity by spectrophotometry, and their protein content was determined. It was found that the collagen protein content of 3 kg of fish was 60% in fish muscle, 10% in fish cartilage and 30% in fish waste. According to this research, Fish muscle has the greatest collagen content, followed by fish waste and cartilage.
