Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If enzymatic hydrolysis subsequent to acid treatment is used to decompose fish scales, then collagen can be obtained, but the process is complex and collagen cannot be used directly by organisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and utilizes specific enzymes (collagenase, protease, peptidase) from microorganisms to perform the decomposition function, separating the enzymatic activity from the complex multi-step chemical process. This allows direct extraction of usable peptides and amino acids from fish scales through biological decomposition, simplifying the overall process while maintaining high collagen yield.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces microorganisms as intermediary agents that naturally produce the necessary enzymes for decomposition. These microorganisms act as mediators between the fish scale substrate and the final peptide products, enabling a single-step biological decomposition process that replaces the complex acid treatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis.
2Adaptability or versatility
If limited microorganisms are used for fish scale decomposition, then few alternatives are available, but this restricts product diversity and optimization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent identifies and utilizes multiple different microorganisms (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Streptomyces albus) that can all perform fish scale decomposition. Each microorganism brings different enzymatic profiles and decomposition characteristics, providing universal solutions for various product requirements while maintaining high decomposition efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent optimizes decomposition parameters including microorganism strain selection, incubation temperature, pH conditions, and substrate concentration to maximize decomposition efficiency. By adjusting these parameters, the system achieves high productivity with diverse microorganism options, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and productivity.
