Production, purification and characterisation of fish scale collagen and microbial collagenase and their application in the formation of bioactive collagen peptides

This study describes a biorefinery approach for the valorisation of fish waste to value-added products such as collagen, collagenase and collagen peptides. Collagen from fish waste has been recently explored as a substitute source for mammalian collagen, with fish scales and skin being utilised the most. In the present study, acid soluble collagen (ASC)
