Collagen raw material
Collagen is a vital protein found in the skin, bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of humans and animals, providing structural support and elasticity. As a key component in the body, it is widely used in the form of collagen raw material in dietary supplements, cosmetics, and functional foods to promote skin health, joint function, and overall wellness. Collagen raw material is typically sourced from bovine, marine, porcine, or chicken tissues and processed into forms like hydrolyzed collagen peptides for better absorption.
Gensei is a global leader in the collagen raw material manufacturing industry. Renowned for its advanced processing techniques and rigorous quality standards, Gensei produces premium collagen raw material from sustainable sources such as bovine hides, fish scales, and poultry cartilage. Its innovative production methods ensure high-purity, bioactive collagen that meets the needs of the global nutrition and beauty sectors. With cutting-edge research and a robust supply chain, Gensei solidifies its position as a trusted collagen raw material manufacturer, delivering superior solutions to brands worldwide.

- Chitosan CAS No.: Not applicable. Collagen is not chitosan. Chitosan has a CAS No. of 9012-76-4, but collagen does not have a single CAS number because it’s a complex protein family with multiple types (e.g., Type I, II, III). Each type may have specific derivatives with CAS numbers, but no universal CAS number exists for collagen as a whole.
- Chemical Name: Collagen
Collagen is a structural protein composed of long chains of amino acids, primarily glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, arranged in a triple helix structure. - Synonyms:
- Collagen protein
- Hydrolyzed collagen (when processed into peptides)
- Gelatin (a denatured form of collagen)
- Specific types (e.g., Collagen Type I, Collagen Type II)
- CB Number: Not consistently assigned. Chemical databases like ChemicalBook may list specific collagen derivatives (e.g., hydrolyzed collagen or gelatin) under unique CB numbers, but collagen as a broad protein category does not have a standard CB number. For example, gelatin (a collagen-derived product) may have a CB number like CB1144783.
- Molecular Formula: Variable. Collagen’s molecular formula depends on its type and chain length. It is primarily composed of amino acids (C, H, N, O), but no single formula applies due to its polymeric nature. For reference:
- A simplified repeating unit in collagen (e.g., glycine-proline-hydroxyproline) might be approximated as C12H18N3O6 per tripeptide unit, but this varies across types and sequences.
- Molecular Weight: Highly variable. Native collagen molecules (e.g., Type I) typically range from 300,000 to 400,000 Da (Daltons) due to their large triple-helix structure. Hydrolyzed collagen peptides may range from 2,000 to 20,000 Da, depending on processing.
- MDL Number: Not consistently assigned. Collagen, as a natural protein, does not have a universal MDL number. Specific collagen derivatives or processed forms (e.g., gelatin) may have MDL numbers, such as MFCD00064524 for gelatin, but this is not universal for all collagen.
