Abstract

Physicochemical properties of hyaline cartilage homogenates were studied by the method of microcalorimetry. Collagen hydrolysates were obtained after homogenization of hyaline cartilages under high pressure conditions at the temperatures that denaturate collagen. Thermodynamic parameters of thermal transition of collagen in cartilage suspension were determined. Enthalpy of thermal transition ΔН decreases in comparison with the control. Thermal transition half-width ΔТ varies with temperature. More denatured and homogeneous samples were obtained at homogenization temperature 80°C. According to spectral studies, particles in the samples obtained at the temperature of 80°C were smaller. The temperature of 80°C is preferred for homogenizing hyaline cartilages and obtaining collagen type II short peptides.
