A method for drying moist jellyfish matter is provided. Jellyfish matter undergoes a controlled drying process until the jellyfish matter comprises a dried flake or mass.

The present disclosure relates to pharmaceutical field, providing a hydrolyzed chicken sternal cartilage extract, method for producing the same and use thereof. The hydrolyzed chicken sternal cartilage extract has a type II collagen content of 50% and a chondroitin sulfate content of 20%. In China, a huge amount of livestock and poultry are consumed, and the total consumption almost reaches of the worldwide livestock and poultry consumption. Chicken sternal cartilage is one of the main by-products in broiler chicken processing. In the present disclosure, a hydrolyzed chicken sternal cartilage extract rich in type II collagen and chondroitin sulfate is obtained by using biological enzymatic hydrolysis technique. Experiments results show that the hydrolyzed chicken sternal cartilage extract produced by the present disclosure has a good anti-inflammatory effect and can be used to prepare medications for treating osteoarthritis.

The invention relates to the technical field of collagen food. The pure collagen milk powder is prepared by concentrating and drying pure collagen milk, and the pure collagen milk is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 10-80 parts of a pure collagen solution, 0.1-1 part of an emulsion stabilizer, 0.25-5 parts of white granulated sugar, 0.15-3 parts of salt, 0.01-0.5 part of a food flavor, and 20-90 parts of drinking water, wherein the pure collagen solution is a pure collagen solution containing small molecule short-chain peptides.

The invention relates to a composition of peptides having an aminogram in which: glycine, hydroxyproline and proline are in molar quantities such that the ratio of each quantity to the sum of the molar quantities of the amino acids in the composition is comprised between 20.0% and 24.5%, between 6.0% and 12.0% and between 10.6% and 14.6%, respectively; the peptide composition comprising a quantity of peptides with a molecular weight lower than 1400 Da such that the ratio of said quantity to the quantity of peptides in the composition is less than 40%; the molecular weight and the quantity of peptides in the composition being determined by exclusion chromatography. The invention likewise relates to such a composition to be used as a drug. The invention further relates to such a composition to be used as a food supplement.

The present invention relates to a nutritionally optimized synthetic or recombinant collagen peptide comprising at least one amino acid sequence motif (glycine-X-Y).sub.n, and the collagen peptide according to the invention for use in a method for therapeutic treatment of the human or animal body and products containing the collagen peptide according to the invention.

A compound composition for improving bone health and preparation and application thereof are provided. The compound composition is prepared by combining a traditional Chinese medicine extract with chicken cartilage collagen, magnesium, vitamin K2 and vitamin D3. The compound composition overcomes the food safety risk of the existing osteoporosis preventive drugs by adding the traditional Chinese medicine extract for improving osteoporosis and promoting bone health. And the compound composition disclosed can be used as a dietary supplement or health food raw material for preventing or treating osteoporosis. Therefore, the compound composition disclosed is suitable for promotion and application.

The present invention relates to a collagen hydrolysate which is produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of type-B bone gelatin, wherein the collagen hydrolysate is formed from peptides of which at least 50% by weight, in particular at least 70% by weight have a molecular weight of 1,500 Da to 3,500 Da, and which have a mean molecular weight in the range from 4,000 Da to 8,000 Da, in particular in the range from 4,500 Da to 6,000 Da. The invention also relates to the use of this collagen hydrolysate as an active ingredient to maintain and/or improve the health of the bones, in particular to prevent and/or treat osteoporosis. The invention further relates to a nutritional supplement which comprises the collagen hydrolysate.

A cell hydrolysate composition is described, wherein the composition comprises substantially all protein polypeptides and/or polypeptide fragments derived substantially from all the proteins in a cell from an in vitro cell culture.

A nutritional composition comprises a protein component, a lipid component and a carbohydrate component, minerals, vitamins and water, wherein the protein component comprises at least two different protein sources; wherein the first protein source is hydrolysed collagen; the lipid component provides at least 30 EN % of the total energy of the composition and the first source of protein represents 35-95 wt % based on the total weight of the protein component. The nutritional composition provides a homogeneous emulsion of high energy density (e.g. at least 3 kcal/mL) and high protein density (e.g. at least 14 g/100 mL).
