What is hydrolyzed collagen peptide?

2016-08-22


Actually , we say the "collagen " is a high molecular weight product which it is from animal‘s skin or bone , but hydrolyzed collagen peptide is either heated to a high temperature or enzymatically treated to reduce the "Molecular weight" which limits its ability to congeal. Hydrolysis results in the reduction of collagen protein fibrils of about 300,000 Dalton into smaller peptidesusually less than 6000 Dalton . HNB collagen peptide less than 3000 Dalton (mw) which makes it readily dissolvable in both cold and warm liquids and easily absorbed by human’s body. Depending upon the process of hydrolysis, peptides will have broad molecular weight ranges associated with physical and chemical methods of denaturation.
