Preparation of immobilized pepsin for extraction of collagen from bovine hide
Youdan Duan, Haiming Cheng
Abstract
In the extraction of collagens from mammalian tissues, the free pepsin used in the acid–pepsin extraction system is hard to recycle, and there is a risk of enzyme protein contamination in the extracted collagen products, which limits their applications.
