Collagen peptides are a type of small molecule peptide obtained from collagen through enzymatic hydrolysis or other methods. They typically possess a lower molecular weight, which is beneficial for human absorption. The average molecular weight of collagen peptides usually falls within the range of 1000 to 5000 daltons (Da), although this range can vary depending on the production process and the ...

A novel adsorbent, Fe(III)-loaded collagen fibre (FLCF), was prepared and its adsorption behaviours to three kinds of anionic dyes, Direct Yellow 11 (DY11), Acid Yellow 11 (AY11) and Reactive Blue 19 (RB19), were investigated. It was found that the highest adsorption capacity appeared at pH 3 and that the effect of temperature was not remarkable on the adsorption of AY11 and RB19, whilst ...
