Abstract
ABSTRACTPepsin-soluble collagen (PSC) was extracted and purified from wasted skin and bone of the golden pompano by acetic acid-pepsin method. The result showed that the PSCs extraction yields of skin and bone were 21.81% and 1.25% (wet weight), 62.21% and 1.78% (on the basis of lyophilized dry weight), respectively. Golden pompano skin and bone PSCs contained the typical chain of α and β dimers, and they were preliminarily judged to belong to type I collagen. The skin PSC had similar amino acid composition to bone PSC, which is rich in glycine, alanine, proline, and hydroxyproline. After addressing the pepsin, three helical structure of PSCs were intact, and their natural structures largely remained. The denaturation temperatures of skin and bone PSCs were 37.04°C and 38.23°C, respectively. Solubility results showed that the skin and bone PSCs solubility was the largest at pH = 3. The solubility of skin and bone PSCs was stable at NaCl concentrations lower than 3%. In addition, two PSCs in acid and low salt conditions had good solubility. This study demonstrated that golden pompano skin and bone could be used as good materials to extract PSC, representing an economic benefit and added value.Abbreviations: SDS-PAGE: Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; FTIR: Fourier transform infrared; DSC: Differential scanning calorimetry; XRD: X-ray diffraction
