COLGELEX™ 3000

Function

Collagen Peptide Hydrolysis Enzyme
High Digestibility • Controlled DH • Targeted Molecular Weight Collagen Peptides

COLGELEX™ 3000 is an advanced collagen peptide production enzyme formulation developed for controlled hydrolysis of collagen and gelatin into high-solubility collagen peptides and collagen hydrolysates. Designed for industrial processors producing collagen ingredients for nutraceuticals, food & beverages, sports nutrition, beauty-from-within, pet nutrition, and functional ingredient markets, COLGELEX™ 3000 helps deliver consistent peptide output with repeatable process control.

The enzyme system is engineered to achieve a target degree of hydrolysis (DH) and a defined molecular weight distribution, enabling manufacturers to standardize product performance, solubility, and processing efficiency across different collagen raw material sources.

Collagen peptide powder production (spray-dried or agglomerated)
Collagen hydrolysate production for food & beverages
Nutraceutical collagen peptides (capsules, sachets, RTD)
Beauty-from-within and cosmetic ingredient supply chains
Pet food & aquaculture protein hydrolysates (process dependent)

Applications:

Benefits

Designed for collagen peptide and collagen hydrolysate production
Controlled degree of hydrolysis (DH) for repeatable results
Supports target molecular weight distribution and consistent peptide profile
High solubility collagen peptides for formulation performance
Improved batch consistency across raw material variation
Suitable for scalable, industrial collagen peptide processing operations

Raw Materials

1) Collagen Peptides with Controlled DH

COLGELEX™ 3000 enables controlled enzymatic hydrolysis so processors can hit a repeatable DH range, supporting standardized product specifications and consistent downstream performance.

2) Targeted Molecular Weight Distribution

Collagen peptide markets demand consistency. COLGELEX™ 3000 is designed to support a defined peptide profile, helping manufacturers produce collagen peptides aligned with target functionality and customer requirements.

3) High Solubility & Process Efficiency

Optimized hydrolysis supports improved solubility and handling for downstream steps like filtration, concentration, spray drying, blending, and formulation.

Inconsistent collagen peptide output across batches
Poor hydrolysis control causing variable DH and peptide profile
Low solubility or difficult dissolution in final collagen peptide products
Over-hydrolysis or unstable peptide profiles when using single enzymes
Raw material variability affecting collagen hydrolysate performance

Collagen peptide production requires controlled cleavage of collagen chains into smaller peptide fractions while maintaining process repeatability. COLGELEX™ 3000 uses a synergistic endoprotease + peptidase system to generate peptides with controlled DH and a consistent molecular profile. This allows manufacturers to standardize collagen peptide quality and optimize process economics.

COLGELEX™ 3000 is typically built using a synergistic system of:

High-Performance Endoproteases
Primarily alkaline proteases (serine endopeptidases / subtilisin-type) and/or selected neutral proteases (metalloproteases) to efficiently cleave collagen protein chains into peptide fractions.
Exopeptidases / Peptidase Fractions Used to trim peptide ends and optimize the peptide profile, supporting controlled DH, improved solubility, and consistent molecular weight distribution.
