COLGELEX™ 1000

Function

Collagen Loosening • Improved Release • Better Conversion of Skins, Bones & Frames into Collagen/Gelatin Streams

COLGELEX™ 1000 is a specialized collagen extraction aid enzyme formulation developed to support efficient recovery of collagen and gelatin from skins, hides, bones, frames, connective tissue, and other collagen-rich by-products. The formulation is built around carefully selected protease enzyme families used in animal protein processing—primarily alkaline proteases (subtilisin-type serine endopeptidases) and neutral proteases (metalloproteases)—optimized for controlled action during collagen pre-treatment and extraction stages.

Colgelex-1000 is designed to improve tissue loosening, collagen release efficiency, and cleaner separation of usable collagen/gelatin streams while maintaining process control and repeatability across variable raw materials.

  • Bovine hides/skins, connective tissue, collagen trims
  • Porcine skins and collagen-rich tissues
  • Bones and frame-based by-products

Raw Materials

1) Collagen Loosening & Improved Release

Collagen-rich tissues are tightly structured and often require aggressive pre-treatment. COLGELEX™ 1000 supports controlled enzymatic loosening to improve collagen accessibility and release from complex matrices.

 2) Better Utilization of By-Products

COLGELEX™ 1000 helps valorize:

  • fish skins, scales, frames, trimmings
  • bovine hides and collagen-rich tissues
  • porcine skins and connective tissues
  • bones/frames and processing by-products
    into consistent collagen/gelatin processing streams.

 
3) Process Efficiency & Quality Consistency

The controlled protease blend supports stable performance across industrial conditions, improving batch consistency and enabling predictable extraction behavior.

  • Low collagen release from skins and connective tissue
  • Inconsistent extraction due to raw material variability
  • Difficult separation of usable collagen/gelatin streams
  • High residual protein waste in bones/frames
  • Longer processing time or high chemical dependence (process dependent)

In collagen extraction, the limiting step is the dense collagenous tissue structure and the presence of surrounding non-collagen proteins. COLGELEX™ 1000 uses endo-acting protease families to support matrix opening and removal/loosening of non-collagenous proteins, which improves collagen accessibility and stream formation. The result is improved conversion of by-products into process-ready collagen/gelatin streams with controlled processing outcomes.
