The “sisters” α-helices of collagen, elastin and keratin recovered from animal by-products: Functionality, bioactivity and trends of application
2016-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Huge amounts of animal by-products are generated along processing for human consumption. This material adds up to 50% of the animal weight, representing a serious economic and environmental concern.A shift to a molecular level of utilisation of those residues could be a viable and cost-effective option, where the biomolecules recovered would be applied outside the agricultural sector. In this regards, the structur...
