Bovine bone collagen is a type of collagen from cow bones. Collagen is a biological macromolecule and a major component of animal connective tissue. It has strong tensile properties and is the main of ligaments and tendons. It is also abundantly present in the extracellular matrix. Bovine bone collagen is primarily composed of amino acids such asine, proline, and hydroxyproline.

二. Applications

1.Food Additives 

(1) Functional Foods and Nutritional Supplements: Bov bone collagen can be processed into collagen powder and added to health supplements. It can replenish the collagen lost in the human body due to aging, helping to maintain elasticity and moisture, and reduce the formation of wrinkles. For instance, in some oral beauty products, the addition of bovine bone collagen can enhance skin luster firmness.

(2) Meat Product Processing: In products like sausages and hams, bovine bone collagen can be used as an emulsifier gelling agent. It can improve the texture of meat products, making the meat more tender and juicy. It also helps maintain the shape of the products during processing storage, preventing deformation. Additionally, it can increase the protein content of meat products, enhancing their nutritional value.

(3) Baked Goods: In breads cakes, and other baked goods, bovine bone collagen can increase the resilience and extensibility of the dough, resulting in larger volume and softer texture of the products. Due to the water-absorbing property of collagen, it can also extend the shelf life of baked goods by reducing moisture loss.

 2. Pharmaceutical raw materials

Tissue Engineering and Wound Healing: Bovine bone collagen can be used as a scaffold material in tissue engineering. It can provide a three-dimensional support structure cell growth and tissue repair. During wound healing, collagen can attract cells like fibroblasts to the wound site, promoting the generation of new tissue. For, in some burn or trauma dressings, the presence of bovine bone collagen can accelerate wound healing and reduce scar formation.

 3.Cosmetics materials

Skin Products: In creams, lotions, and serums, bovine bone collagen can act as a humectant and anti-wrinkle ingredient. It can form protective layer on the skin surface, preventing moisture loss and keeping the skin hydrated. Meanwhile, collagen can stimulate skin cells to produce more collagen, enhancing skin elasticity reducing wrinkles and fine lines, and improving skin laxity.
