Product Info
What is Fish Collagen Peptides?
Fish Collagen Peptides are highly bioavailable short chains of amino acids obtained by hydrolyzing fish collagen, primarily used as a functional protein supplement in nutraceuticals and cosmetics to support skin hydration and joint integrity.
How is Fish Collagen Peptides made?
| Step No. | Production Stage | Key Action | Control Point & Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Raw Material Reception | Receive and inspect raw fish materials (e.g., skin, scales). | Source verification and inspection for freshness, species, and foreign matter. Materials are typically frozen to maintain quality. Heavy metal and contaminant pre-screening. |
| 2 | Pre-treatment & Cleaning | Thaw, wash, and cut the fish materials. An optional demineralization or de-fatting step may be performed. | Ensure thorough cleaning with potable water to remove impurities. Controlled thawing temperature is critical to prevent microbial growth. |
| 3 | Enzymatic Hydrolysis | Add food-grade enzymes (proteases) to the prepared fish material in a reaction vessel to break down collagen into peptides. | Precise control of temperature, pH, and reaction time is crucial. This step determines the final molecular weight distribution and bioactivity of the peptides. |
| 4 | Enzyme Inactivation | Rapidly heat the liquid hydrolysate to a high temperature (e.g., 90-95°C) to stop the enzymatic reaction. | The mixture must reach the target temperature for the specified duration to ensure complete enzyme deactivation, preventing further degradation and ensuring product stability. |
| 5 | Filtration & Clarification | Filter the liquid to remove insoluble solids, fats, and other suspended impurities using centrifugation and/or membrane filtration. | Filter pore size and efficiency are key to achieving a clear and pure peptide solution. This step significantly improves the quality of the final product. |
| 6 | Decolorization & Deodorization | Pass the filtered liquid through a column of activated carbon or other adsorbents. | Removes residual pigments and fishy odors. Monitor contact time and carbon quality to achieve a neutral color and taste. |
| 7 | Concentration | Remove excess water from the purified peptide solution, typically using low-temperature vacuum evaporation. | Low-temperature processing is vital to prevent heat damage to the peptides. The process is monitored to reach a specific solid content (Brix). |
| 8 | Spray Drying | Atomize the concentrated liquid into a hot air chamber to instantly evaporate the remaining moisture, forming a fine powder. | Strict control of inlet and outlet air temperatures is essential. This determines the final moisture content, particle size, and solubility of the powder. |
| 9 | Sieving & Blending | Sieve the dried powder to ensure a uniform particle size and blend different batches for product consistency. | Check for uniformity and pass through a metal detector. This ensures a homogenous final product free from foreign contaminants. |
| 10 | Final QC & Packaging | Conduct final laboratory analysis on the powder and pack it into airtight, moisture-proof containers. | Product must meet all final specifications (microbiological, heavy metals, protein content, molecular weight) before release. Packaging integrity is crucial for shelf life. |

Applications & Usage
Common Applications:
No application data available.
Mechanism of action:
| Parameter | Fish Collagen Peptides |
|---|---|
| Functional Category | Bioactive Peptide Supplement; Nutraceutical; Functional Food Ingredient |
| Key Ingredients | Hydrolyzed Type I Collagen Peptides (from fish skin, scales, or bones) |
| Mechanism of Action | Ingested peptides are absorbed into the bloodstream as small di- and tripeptides (e.g., Pro-Hyp, Hyp-Gly) and free amino acids. These bioactive peptides act as signaling molecules, stimulating target cells such as fibroblasts and chondrocytes. This stimulation upregulates the endogenous synthesis of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the extracellular matrix of skin, bones, and cartilage. |
| Application Effect in Product | Improves skin hydration, elasticity, and firmness; reduces the appearance of wrinkles; supports joint comfort and mobility by promoting cartilage health; contributes to increased bone mineral density; provides a highly soluble, neutral-tasting protein source for fortification of beverages, supplements, and foods. |
Comparison:
| Product Name | Category/Type | Key Features | Strengths (vs peers) | Weaknesses (vs peers) | Best Use Cases | Why Choose |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fish Collagen Peptides | Marine Collagen Supplement | Primarily Type I collagen; sourced from fish skin and scales; smaller peptide molecules. | High bioavailability and absorption rate; excellent for skin, hair, and nail health; suitable for pescatarians. | Potential for a slight fishy taste/odor; allergen risk for those with fish allergies; often more expensive than bovine. | Improving skin elasticity, hydration, and reducing wrinkles; strengthening hair and nails. | For a primary focus on beauty benefits and faster absorption, or if avoiding bovine products. |
| Bovine Collagen Peptides | Mammalian Collagen Supplement | Rich in Type I and Type III collagen; sourced from cowhides. | Cost-effective and widely available; balanced profile for skin, bone, joint, and gut health; generally tasteless. | Larger peptide molecules than fish collagen; not suitable for those avoiding beef products. | General wellness, joint and bone support, gut health, and skin improvement. | For an affordable, all-around collagen that supports overall body structure, not just skin. |
| Chicken Collagen Peptides | Avian Collagen Supplement | Primarily Type II collagen; sourced from chicken cartilage. | Specifically targets cartilage and joint health; often contains naturally occurring chondroitin and glucosamine. | Less effective for skin, hair, and nail benefits (low in Type I and III collagen). | Supporting joint comfort and mobility; addressing cartilage wear and tear. | When the main goal is targeted support for joints and cartilage, rather than cosmetic benefits. |
| Vegan Collagen Booster | Plant-Based Amino Acid Supplement | Contains no animal collagen; provides plant-derived amino acids (e.g., glycine, proline) and co-factors like Vitamin C and silica. | Suitable for vegans and vegetarians; no animal-derived ingredients; cruelty-free. | Does not provide direct collagen; relies on the body's ability to synthesize its own, which may be less efficient with age. | Supporting the body's natural collagen production process for individuals on a plant-based diet. | To support collagen synthesis without consuming any animal products. |
