Help Promote The High-quality Development Of Collagen Peptide Industry

With the continuous improvement of people's requirements for quality of life and the deepening of awareness of the efficacy of collagen, the market potential of collagen products continues to increase. On April 14, the 2023 Collagen Peptide Industry Development High Level Forum was held in Beijing. Professor Li Yong, Director of the Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, School of Public Health, Peking University; Professor Zhang Lishi, Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, West China School of Public Health, Sichuan University; Professor Zhang Guifeng, Researcher, Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences; School of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering, China Agricultural University Professor Li Bo, as the guest of this forum, jointly took the pulse of the development of the collagen peptide industry. Use academic popularization methods to strengthen consumers' awareness of the ingredients, efficacy, safety and science and technology behind the formula of collagen products.

Professor Chen Zhongliang, chairman of the Functional Nutrition Science and Technology Working Committee of the China Anti-aging Promotion Association, addressed the forum and delivered a keynote speech. He said that collagen peptides are more and more widely used in functional nutritional medicine. Many studies have shown that skin anti-aging is only a part of the effect of collagen peptides on health. More research is currently focusing on joint cartilage. Regeneration, reducing joint pain, repairing sports injuries, bone density, toughness, and sarcopenia are all great aids.
Professor Li Yong explained: Collagen peptides participate in the life process of human growth, development and metabolism, which can enhance human immunity, inhibit cell variation, and care for health. "Collagen" is the most abundant protein in the human body, with a molecular weight of 50-1000 Daltons, called "small peptides", "oligopeptides" or "oligopeptides", and is famous for its higher absorption rate. Peptide molecules pass through body metabolism The process provides energy for the normal operation of the human body and maintains the normal physiological activities of the human body. The public recognizes collagen peptides from the perspective of beauty, but collagen peptides, as an emerging functional protein ingredient, play an important role in improving immunity, regulating blood sugar, blood pressure, heart Pulse, reduce stress, osteoporosis, kidney function, liver function, cesarean section, wound healing and other directions play a greater role.

With the improvement of people's living standards and the popularization of nutrition and health knowledge, the public will pay more and more attention to related health products and food. The Peptide Research Group of Peking University conducts in-depth research on collagen production technology, extraction and refining, activity research, component testing, new product development, and industry standard formulation to speed up the transformation and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements.

Professor Zhang Lishi introduced in the forum that collagen peptides have been supported by a large amount of clinical data and science in terms of scientificity and safety. In the report, issues such as food safety standards, biological effects and health functions of collagen peptides, as well as relevant regulations and standards were elaborated in detail. In addition, international and domestic research and development of collagen peptide raw materials, safety and biological activity in the field of health food, biomedicine, and cosmetics industry will continue to explore and research in the ascendant.

Professor Zhang Guifeng said: Collagen peptide has entered the public's cognition in the field of oral beauty, in fact, its application scope is far more than that. The special structural properties make collagen low immunogenicity, which can promote cell growth and tissue repair, and has higher biocompatibility and biodegradability than polymer synthetic materials, and is widely used in food, health products, Cosmetics, medical and other industries.

Professor Li Bo gave a detailed explanation on the sources, preparation methods and efficacy evaluation of oral collagen peptides. Research progress From the perspective of elucidating the active ingredients and their mechanism of action of collagen peptides at the cellular and molecular levels to optimize the production process, using emerging technologies to improve the efficiency of the separation and purification process will drive the development of my country's high-quality collagen industry.

Professor Wang Zhu, vice chairman of Beijing Nutritionist Association, reviewed the association's continuous efforts in actively exploring the popularization of scientific and technological resources. She said that in order to further explore the application of collagen peptides, after the successful conclusion of the "Collagen Peptide Industry" high-level forum, the Beijing Nutritionist Association will continue to launch the third "Fish Collagen Peptide" high-level forum around collagen peptides. Forum and the fourth "Clinical Research Report on Collagen Peptide Oral Liquid Improvement of Facial Skin Condition". Focus on basic research and innovation, promote government-industry-university-research cooperation, and jointly promote the high-quality development of the nutrition industry.
