Black Ginseng Collagen Fermentation for Low Molecular Weight
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for manufacturing low molecular collagen products do not effectively enhance collagen absorption in the body, limiting their skin regeneration and anti-aging benefits.
Innovation Solution
A method involving the addition of collagen to black ginseng concentrate, where koji mould is initially added to ginseng, followed by mixing with oligosaccharides and subsequent fermentation and sterilization, converts collagen into low molecular collagen, increasing its absorption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If collagen is added to black ginseng concentrate for fermentation, then collagen absorption and effectiveness are significantly increased, but the manufacturing process complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines collagen fermentation with the existing black ginseng concentrate manufacturing process. The collagen is added to the black ginseng concentrate and fermented together using the same koji mold and fermentation conditions already established for black ginseng production, thereby integrating two processes into one without requiring separate manufacturing lines or additional complex equipment.
Solution Approach 2:
The black ginseng concentrate serves multiple functions: it acts as both the fermentation medium for traditional black ginseng production and as the substrate for collagen fermentation. The same fermentation conditions (temperature, time, koji mold strain) are used for both purposes, making the process multi-functional and reducing overall process complexity.
2Reliability
If collagen is converted to low molecular collagen through fermentation, then skin regeneration and anti-aging benefits are enhanced, but the fermentation process requires precise temperature and time control
Solution Approach 1:
The koji mold naturally produces enzymes that automatically break down collagen into low molecular collagen during the fermentation process. The system self-regulates the degradation process through the metabolic activity of the microorganisms, reducing the need for external intervention or precise manual control of degradation parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent optimizes fermentation parameters (temperature between 20-30°C, duration of 3-7 days) to achieve the desired level of collagen degradation. By controlling these parameters within specific ranges, the process achieves consistent production of low molecular collagen with enhanced skin regeneration properties while maintaining manageable process control requirements.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The method significantly increases collagen absorption and effectiveness by converting a substantial portion of collagen into low molecular weight forms, enhancing skin regeneration and anti-aging benefits.
Implementation Method 1
The black ginseng concentrate is fermented and sterilized after adding collagen to the black ginseng concentrate
Implementation Method 2
collagen included in the black ginseng concentrate may be to be a low molecular collagen by the fermenting
