How to produce a good quality of our fish scale OSSEIN product?
Step 1 raw material preparation process - separate unknown material out from raw material (fish scale)
-
- We have methods to separate the size of fish scale
The purpose for to separate the size of the fish scale (small, medium, big) - Separate unknown materials out from fish scale by a separator machine and human.
- We have methods to separate the size of fish scale
Step 2 Raw material cleaning
-
- Fish scales cleaning by freshwater many times and for a long time to make sure that the fish scale clean
- Fish scale cleaning with caustic soda (NaOH) to remove dust and fish mucus
This process is critical to producing a good quality OSSEIN and by-product Tricalcium Phosphate.
- Fish scales cleaning by freshwater many times and for a long time to make sure that the fish scale clean
Step 3 Demineralization process
To extract calcium from fish scale and collect calcium for the Tricalcium phosphate product.
Step 4 Extraction other non-collagen proteins and pigmented out from fish scale
To purify the fish scale Ossein without non-collagen and pigmented and adjustment rang of pH to be 6-8
Step 5 Drying in the green house
We have a process drying in the greenhouse to protect contamination with unknown materials and quickly to dried.
Step 6 Fish scale Ossein QC and inspection
We have QC lab equipment to test ASH, Moisture, and pH. Inspection to remove unknown materials from the fish scale Ossein before using in-house Collagen production or shipping to the customer.
OSSEIN product properties specification and control
-
- Moisture less than 15 %
Moisture Content of the sample was determined by drying the sample at 105 c for 24 h or until the weight was constant. It was then calculated by the percentage of weight loss compared to the initial weight of the sample.
Remark: this method was modified from AOAC 934.01.
Drying Method ( A.O.A.C.1980 Page 125 ) - pH 6-8
PH Content of the sample was determined by storing the sample in hot water and stirring it for 10 minutes. It was then calculated by PH METER. - ASH less than 1 %
Ash content of the sample was determined by storing the sample in a muffle furnace at 600 c for 24 h or until the weight was constant. Ash content was calculated from the percentage of ash residue compared to the initial weight of the moisture-free sample
Remark: This method was modified from AOAC 938.08.
Official Final Action Method ( A.O.A.C.1980 Page .125 )
- Moisture less than 15 %
