Decalcified Fish Scales (Ossein)

Freshwater Fish scales (Ossein) (Mainly from Carp Fish Rohu-Katla) – Code: FOS

India is coming up as the largest source of raw material (Fish skin & scales) for the production of collagen because of its large coastline of more than 8,000 km and also because of the huge number OF inland rivers.

Apqa has its own collection mechanism in India and today we are the largest raw material supplier of fish scales Ossein from India to various collagen manufacturers across the world. We have extensive experience in exporting fish scales to China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, France, and Indonesia.

Ossein(Protein) is a process where the dried fish scales are demineralized and calcium is removed from the scales (also called decalcification). The scales are made ready for collagen peptide extraction.

Ossein is a collagen precursor pretty close to 100% protein once moisture is deducted. We obtain it by removing minerals matters from fish scales. Ossein has recently gained popularity as an alternative material to fish skin for marine collagen production.

Our Ossein-making process is an environment-friendly process, wherein we recycle a considerable quantity of water and reuse the same water in the ossein-making process. Decalcified Fish Scales we manufacture are of high quality and cost-effective.

We supply Ossein which is almost neutral in pH (between 6 to 7), high in nitrogen content, low in moisture, and with minimal ash content. This will result in a high yield of collagen peptides.

The best and optimal source for COLLAGEN and GELATIN

The latest survey was conducted in 2022 by the Industry Transparency Center (ITC) of collagen consumers and supplement users from the US, China, the UK, Germany, and Italy. Those findings imply an association between the user’s knowledge and the sources of the ingredients. Beauty and joint health are the top primary reasons to use collagen supplements. The protein contents matter in the various collagen applications. The collagen sources from the fish scales have maximum protein content than the others.

As per the report, fish scales are the best source of collagen as they may help delay signs of aging, like wrinkles, joint issues, and weakness.

Sustainability influences the purchasing decision. Sustainability is a huge driver and it frequently impacts health so it is very important to choose the right source significantly.
