Dry fish skin – Tilapia

Dry fish skin – Tilapia

Tilapia fish is mainly freshwater fish found in rivers, ponds, shallow streams and sometimes in estuaries where the water is not so salty – a mix of river and sea water.

Tilapia can feed on algae or any other plant based food, unlike other carnivorous fish.

Tilapiine Cichlids under which the various species of Oreochromis, Sarotherodon, and Tilapia come are collectively known colloquially as ‘Tilapia’.

A study conducted in Japan confirmed that atelocollagen prepared from tilapia is a powerful biomaterial for use as a scaffold in regenerative medicine and an alternative to bovine collagen.

Dry skin of tilapia is used as a raw material in the collagen factories because it is a rich source of collagen.

Marine collagen peptides or MCPs from the skin of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis. niloticus) have promising applications in wound care.

MCPs prepared from the skin of tilapia fish by composite enzymatic hydrolysis were composed of polypeptides with molecular weights less than 5 kDa.
