A process for obtaining fish gelatin characterized because it comprises: (a) cleaning of fish skins; (b) washing of skins with water; (c) treating with diluted alkali solution with constant agitation; (d) washing of skins with water until the wash water is in a pH range between 6.8 and 7.2; (e) treating with diluted organic acid solution with constant agitation; (f) washing of skins with water until the wash water is in a pH range between 6.8 and 7.2 and subsequent runoff; (g) extracting gelatin by mixing the skins in an organic acid solution with a concentration of 0.2 to 0.3 weight percent by volume at a temperature of 55 to 65 C. and for 260 to 340 minutes; (h) filtering to remove skin debris and impurities; (i) drying; and (j) grinding.

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.

This disclosure describes methods for forming cell-based-meat products that mimic cuts of slaughtered meat. Generally, the disclosed method comprises forming a cell mass into primary structures, including fibers and/or sheets. A toughening agent is applied to the exterior surfaces of the primary structures, and the primary structures are arranged to mimic structures in a target slaughtered meat. The toughening agent creates a textural contrast that, during consumption, is like the textural contrast experienced when biting through bundles of meat fibers in slaughtered meat.
