The invention belongs to the technical field of natural active collagen, and particularly relates to a method for rapidly detecting the content of active collagen. According to the method, a collagen reference substance with a complete
triple helix structure and denatured collagen losing the
triple helix structure after denaturation treatment are mixed according to different proportions, a series of
standard samples with different
triple helix structure contents are prepared, and the content of active collagen is detected by utilizing self-
assembly performance characterization. The method comprises the following steps: adding a PBS (
Phosphate Buffer Solution) into a collagen solution, carrying out in-vitro self-
assembly under proper conditions (cooperative control of collagen concentration, pH value,
ion strength, temperature and the like), and determining the
turbidity change of the collagen solution in real time under a set
wavelength to obtain a quantitative
standard curve for calculating the content of active collagen in a
test sample. The method for detecting the content of the active collagen is quicker, simpler and more convenient, and compared with a traditional
protease enzymolysis method, the detection time is greatly shortened, and the detection efficiency is also improved.
