Hydrolyzed collagen

Hydrolyzed collagen (CAS 92113-31-0), also sold as hydrolyzed animal protein, is a mixture of peptides and amino acids from enzymatic or acid hydrolysis of collagen-rich animal tissues.

Where is Hydrolyzed collagen used?

• Food and nutraceutical: protein supplements
• Functional beverages and fortified foods: high digestibility and amino acid density
• Personal care: hair conditioners, skin creams, serums; peptide fractions bind to keratin and support moisture retention
• Pharmaceutical: stabilizer and excipient in tablet coatings and wound-care matrices
• Animal feed: digestible protein concentrate that improves palatability and supports amino acid intake in livestock and aquaculture diets

Good to know: Low-molecular-weight fractions are preferred in cosmetic and nutraceutical use.

Commercial specifications

• Spray-dried powder
• Molecular weight fractions vary by application
