PROCESS TO EXTRACT THE COLLAGEN PROTEIN FROM BOVINE HIDE

摘要

The present Patent of Invention refers to a process to extract the collagen protein from bovine hide which has the objective to reduce the extraction time of the collagen protein and increase the quality of the end product obtained. The process also obtains a reduction of costs and increase in productivity. The mentioned process to extract the collagen protein from bovine hide has a flow diagram to be rigorously followed, whose main stages are: kill the bovines (1); obtain the hide (2); remove the flesh (4); calcination (7); obtain the fiber (11); decalcination in a pressure vessel (12); dryer (17); obtention of the paste (21); drying (22); breaking (24); manual screening (26); primary packaging (29); secondary packaging (30); official approval (31); and end product (32). In this manner, one defines the present Patent of Invention as a well elaborated process of stages, divided into three main parts, which can be summarily explained as: obtention of the fiber; obtention of the paste; and finalization to package the collagen protein.
