Description

Ammonium Hydrolyzed Collagen is a water-soluble, low-molecular-weight protein derivative produced by the hydrolysis of collagen followed by ammonium salt formation. This specialized ingredient is valued for its enhanced bioavailability, excellent film-forming properties, and superior moisture-binding capacity, making it a functional additive in high-performance formulations. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, nutraceutical, and biomedical industries seeking to improve product efficacy and texture.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a film-forming agent and moisturizer in anti-aging serums, creams, hair conditioners, and nail care products to improve skin elasticity and hydration.
• Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: Used in protein powders, joint health supplements, and functional beverages for its bioavailable amino acid profile and support for connective tissue.
• Biomedical & Pharmaceutical: Employed in wound dressing materials, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering scaffolds due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability.
• Functional Food & Beverage: Serves as a protein fortifier and texture modifier in health drinks, yogurt, and protein bars, enhancing nutritional value without compromising taste.
• Industrial Applications: Utilized in the production of biodegradable films, adhesives, and specialty coatings where a natural, protein-based polymer is required.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium Hydrolyzed Collagen is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets specifications for key parameters such as protein content, molecular weight distribution, heavy metals, and microbiological limits. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment and can support compliance with relevant standards for cosmetic (ISO 22716), food, and pharmaceutical applications upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to caking or degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
