CAPITALIZATION OF MARINE RESOURCES FROM BLACK SEA BY OBTAINING AND CHARACTERIZING COLLAGEN FROM GREY MULLET

The Black Sea offers multiple capitalization possibilities for the medical and pharmaceutical field. The harness of marine bioresources for obtaining pharmaceuticals products have been highlighted in recent times. For the first time, the collagen from Grey Mullet fish has been extracted from the Black Sea. Acid soluble collagen (ASC) from the skin wastes of Grey Mullet from the Black Sea was successfully isolated and characterized as type I collagen. For collagen extraction, the acid method with acetic acid 0.5M showed better results than those using HCl 0.1M. Various physico-chemical determinations have been performed to characterize the collagen. For obtaining structural data FTIR and UV-DC spectral analyses have been used. In conclusion, we can say that the collagen hydrogel obtained from fish skin can be used to obtain biomaterials for pharmaceutical field use.
