EXTRACTION, CHARACTERIZATION AND EVALUATION OF ACID-SOLUBLE COLLAGEN FROM HILSA (Tenualosa ilisha) SCALES: AN APPROACH TOWARDS BIORESOURCE VALORIZATION
This study investigates acid-soluble collagen (ASC) extraction from Hilsa fish (Tenualosa ilisha) scales, an underutilized bioresource in South Asia.Scales showed high protein (24.84%) and ash (21.43%) content, suitable for collagen extraction.Characterized as type I, the collagen exhibited 1, 2, , and chains (50-250 kDa) with glycine, proline, and lysine dominance.Ultraviolet spectrophotometer (UV) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed structural integrity, while antioxidant activity was demonstrated through 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate (ABTS) assays.These findings highlight innovative waste valorization for fishery by-products.
