Fish Collagen – Molecular Structure After Thermal Treatment
Journal Title: Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 6
Abstract
Modern medicine widely uses exogenous collagen as a good material for tissue regeneration, also as a natural substrate for cell attachment and proliferation, used to create dressings and to support the treatment of burn and diabetic wounds, or finally as a source of amino acids in the form of a dietary supplement. Collagen is a safe material that has high biocompatibility and biodegradability as well as good cell adhesion. Due to the possibility of transferring Creutzfeld-Jacob’s disease (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) from animals to the human body, interest in collagen from fish is currently increasing. The collagen we examined was derived from the skin of the silver carp fish (Hypophtalmichthys molitrix) and was obtained by the method of hydration in an aqueous lactic acid solution. The topography of the test sample was performed with the AFM method, showing its fibrillar structure with dimensions equivalent to those given in iterature. Raman spectroscopy was used to study fish collagen using a Renishaw Ramanscope with a helium-neon laser at a wavelength of 633 nm. Analysis of Raman spectra allowed to determine the content of amino acids in collagen, as well as glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. It also showed the native nature of the material at 20 °C. The partial renaturation of the secondary structure of this material heated to about 85 °C and cooled was also proved. Raman spectroscopy has been presented as an effective method for testing biopolymers.<br/><br/>

Surface Roughness Assessment of Woven Fabrics Using Fringe Projection Moiré Techniques
In this paper, a new approach is proposed for characterizing the surface roughness of woven fabrics. This approach is based on the fringe projection moiré techniques and analysis of the moiré pattern, which is caused by...
Unidirectional Torsion Properties of Single Silk Fibre
The unidirectional torsion properties of silk fibre were investigated on a purpose-built single fibre torsion tester. The torsional fracture angle and the number of cycles of torsion at breaking were recorded, and the ef...

The main objective of the study was to evaluate two fit testing methods for protective gloves using anthropometric measurements. The gloves differed in terms of textile materials (woven fabric without elastomeric fibres...
System Design for Evenness Measurement of Raw Silk
The evenness of raw silk is one of its most valuable qualities. Seriplane inspection is a common test for raw silk evenness but is prone to human error and lacks accurate repeatability; the Uster evenness tester is anoth...
