Problems solved by technology

However, one disadvantage of enzymatic extraction is that it produces partially degraded collagen, in other words, the enzyme used for extraction cleaves the collagen molecule at the end of the non-helical region containing internal gel-forming cross-links
Active tissue equivalents produced from collagen extracted by pepsin, an enzyme commonly used to enzymatically extract collagen, have been found to be fragile for certain uses, such as participating in substantial mechanical manipulation of tissue equivalents

[0061] Example 1 Identification of Bacterial Strains of Collagen Extracted by Bacterial Culture Fermentation

[0062] [055] Bacteria were collected and used to extract collagen from the collagen-containing tissue described above by fermentation.

[0063] These bacteria were identified as bacterial strain TW-S-7-1. When preparing bacterial cultures for identification, bacterial strains are picked onto nutrient agar plates. The plates were then placed at 37°C for 16 hours. Five bacterial monoclones were then inoculated into five different "L" tubes containing 5 ml of fresh nutrient broth. Place the test tube at 37° C., shake (50-200 rpm) and incubate for 16-24 hours. Another tube containing 5 ml of fresh nutrient broth not inoculated with any bacteria served as a negative control. Control tubes were incubated at 37°C with shaking (50-200 rpm).

[0064] [056] The turbidity of 5 test tubes inoculated with bacteria was measured to indicate the process of microbial proliferatio...

[0076] Example 2 Production of collagen from avian tissue by bacterial fermentation

[0077] [064] About 800 grams of chicken feet were washed with tap water. About 400 grams of soft tissue, including meat, skin and tendon (commonly referred to as tissue), was collected from these materials and cut into small pieces (0.5 cm in length and width). These tissues were soaked in 70% ethanol for 15 min and then air dried in a biosafety cabinet for 0.5–2 h.

[0078] [065] A fermentation process was performed using a Gram-positive bacterial strain belonging to the genus Bacillus to extract collagen from tissue. The microorganism was cultured in a nutrient medium at 37° C. with shaking at 150 rpm for 24 hours. One ring (about 10 pl) of fresh bacterial culture was inoculated into four Erlenmeyer flasks with 125 moi hinton containing 25 mi of nutrient medium, and cultured with shaking at 250 rpm for 24 hours. The contents of each Erlenmeyer flask were scaled up to 100 ml and incubated...

[0087] Example 3 Extraction of Collagen from Pig Tissue by Bacterial Fermentation

[0088] [073] The skin of freshly slaughtered pigs was first washed with double distilled water, followed by a second washing process to remove impurities. The washing process is combined with 0.2N NaOH and 0.01-0.2% hypochlorite aqueous solution. The incubation time for each treatment ranged from 15 minutes to 40 minutes. After incubation, the treated pigskin was cut into small pieces (approximately 0.5 cm in length and width), followed by two consecutive thorough washings with hot water and air drying.

[0089] [074] Fermentation was performed using a Gram-positive bacterial strain belonging to the genus Bacillus to extract collagen from pigskin. Bacterial cultures were grown in 25 ml nutrient broth at 37°C for 24 hours on a shaker at 150 rpm. It was then scaled up to 100ml and transferred to a fermenter for 24 hours.

[0090] Stirring and aeration rates were set at 450 rpm and 3 wm, respe...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel collagen production method wherein the collagen-containing tissues are fermented to extract the Collagen. The fermentation process employs microorganisms, including but is not limited to bacteria and yeast. The present invention is also directed to collagen product comprising collagen produced by fermentation.

Description

field of invention [0001] [001] The present invention relates to a novel collagen production method, more particularly, to a method for extracting collagen from collagen-containing tissue through a fermentation process, and to the produced collagen product. Background of the invention [0002] [002] Collagen is the basic protein component of the extracellular matrix. In mammals, collagen can sometimes account for 60% of the total protein. It is contained in most organic matter of skin, tendons, bones and teeth, and as fibrous inclusions in most other body structures. Collagen is also the basic building block of fish skin. [0003] [003] There are several types of collagen that vary to meet the needs of various tissues. Currently, animal collagen types I to XIX have been found, among which collagen types I to V are widely used as medical and cosmetic materials and food additives. In particular, type I collagen is most widely used as an extracellular matrix. These collage...
