Collagen from porcine skin: a method of extraction and structural properties
Abstract
This paper presents a study of the processing of collagen-containing raw material and its changes in the course of targeted complex processing by hydrolysis, including freeze-drying. The pH, chemical composition, penetration magnitude, and critical shear stress were determined. The dried samples were examined using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and their microstructures were characterized. The characteristic property of the product developed was determined to be the presence of a relatively homogeneous fibrillar structure that promotes the functional capacity of the proteinoid-forming fibres in the compositions of foods from different groups.
