Mongolian scientists extract collagen protein from cowhide. As a result of the pilot experiment carried out by the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, a protein containing 50-60 percent collagen was characterized from cowhide. “Mongolia is home to 61 million heads of livestock. Reportedly, 10.5 million hides are annually supplied, of which about 24 percent are used for leather garments, whereas 75 percent are exported at a cheap price. The animal skin contains 90 percent collagen protein, thus Mongolia is full potential to produce import-substitute products,” said B. Munkhtsetseg, a scientific worker at the Institute of Chemistry and Chemical Technology. Moreover, she noted that the pilot experiment has proven that the tested collagen protein has better quality than the imported collagen with its nitrogen content. It is a pure collagen. If the intended feasibility study and clinical research work out successful, the collagen protein can be included in the beauty and dietary supplements.
