This study investigated the acoustic conditions of ultrasound-assisted calcium lactate processing of collagen and found that ultrasound could decrease the particle size and increase the zeta potential of collagen. However, the increase in calcium lactate concentration could limit the effect of ultrasound processing.
Type I collagen has a relatively stable quality while quite resistant to digestion because of the complex triple helix structure. This study was conducted to explore the acoustic conditions of ultrasound (UD)-assisted calcium lactate processing of collagen and control the processing process through its sono-physico-chemical effects. The findings demonstrated that UD might lower the average particle size of collagen and increase its zeta potential. In contrast, the rise in calcium lactate concentration could dramatically limit the impact of UD processing. This may be because of its low acoustic cavitation effect, as demonstrated by the phthalic acid method (the fluorescence value decreased from 81245.67 to 18243.67). Poor changes in tertiary and secondary structures confirmed the detrimental effect of calcium lactate concentration on UD-assisted processing. Although UD-assisted calcium lactate processing can significantly alter the structure of collagen, the integrity of the collagen is basically preserved. Furthermore, the addition of UD and a trace amount of calcium lactate (0.1%) increased the roughness of the fiber structure. At this relatively low calcium lactate concentration, ultrasound improved the gastric digestibility of collagen by nearly 20%.
