Collagen peptide industrialization application

Currently, tilapia processing is mainly focused on the production of fresh and frozen fish fillets, with a meat yield of 32-35%. The processing of tilapia in Hainan produces a large number of by-products, such as fish skin and scales, which can account for roughly half or even more of the total mass, and these unutilized by-products are rich in protein.

Thanks to Hainan’s increasingly boutique tilapia industry, while still improving the tilapia industry chain, the production of fish collagen peptide sufficient raw materials. Hainan tilapia is caught ashore, will be sent to the factory to pick the bones in addition to thorns, frozen lock fresh, from live fish to semi-finished products, the entire process will be completed in one and a half hours, and fish skin fish scales and other by-products, the same quickly transported to the Hainan Huayan fish collagen peptide production enterprises in the enterprise science and technology empowerment, the added value of the product is also constantly enhanced, the use of biotechnology extracted from tilapia fish skin, scales of the fish collagen peptide, Collagen tripeptide, in developed countries, food, high-end skin care products and other industries are widely used, the demand has risen sharply.
Why is the fish collagen peptide and collagen tripeptide extracted from the skin and scale of Hainan tilapia so popular?
Most of the collagen peptides are extracted from the by-products of terrestrial animals and aquatic organisms after processing, compared with terrestrial animals, freshwater aquaculture aquatic organisms collagen peptides are less contaminated, less affected by diseases and antibiotics, so freshwater aquaculture fish by-products are currently considered safer and better source of collagen peptide raw materials. 
Meanwhile, the difference between collagen and other proteins is that collagen mainly contains glycine, hydroxyproline and proline, etc.; hydroxylysine does not exist in other proteins and rarely contains hydroxyproline. And by Hainan Huayan use of biological enzymatic technology, Hainan tilapia fish skin, fish scales hydrolyzed into collagen peptide with small molecular weight and good transdermal absorption performance, collagen tripeptide contains glycine, hydroxylysine, proline, proline, alanine, aspartic acid, etc., which can play a nutritional, moisturizing effect on dermal cells with the effect of skin beauty care.

Especially collagen tripeptide, under the extraction of Hainan Huayan’s patented enzyme cutting technology, it can be targeted to cut to the tripeptide containing key amino acids (glycine + proline/hydroxyproline + other kinds of amino acids), with an average molecular weight of 500 Da, which has the advantages of high purity, non-antigenic, hypoallergenic, and so on, and it retains a large number of the iconic components GPH that are vital to the synthesis of collagen, and the molecular weight is even smaller, with a faster absorption The molecular weight is smaller and the absorption rate is faster.

Hainan tilapia can not only extract fish collagen peptide and collagen tripeptide, but also extract tilapia elastin peptide. Elastin peptide powder is the degradation product of elastin, which can participate in the regulation of a variety of cellular activity, with a certain antioxidant activity and reducing capacity, that is, with the ability to delay skin aging, resistance to ultraviolet rays, which can be widely used in the field of medical cosmetology, skincare and other fields.
