Research Abstract |
Collagen is the most abundant protein within extracellular matrix. Generally, collagen is thought to be inedible because it is fibrous protein. However, recent research has demonstrated that collagen could be one of the functional foods. In this study, we analyzed the physiological and nutritional features of collagen hydrolysates. The results showed that ingestion of collagen hydrolysates stimulated wound healing process in skin. Also, collagen has been shown to suppress blood cholesterol levels. Finally we found strong anti-oxidative activity one of the collagen-derived tripeptide. Together, these results suggested that collagen have excellent potential as functional food ingredients, effective for management and treatment of chronic diseases of the modern age.
