Preparation, characterization and antioxidant activity analysis of three Maillard glycosylated bone collagen hydrolysates from chicken, porcine and bovine by Liwei Qi, Hongru Zhang, Yujie Guo, Hong Liu, Chunhui Zhang

“…The free amino groups loss, browning intensity, and fluorescence intensity of G-Cbcp (glycosylated chicken bone collagen hydrolysates (peptides)) were the heaviest, followed by G-Pbcp (glycosylated porcine bone collagen hydrolysates (peptides)) and G-Bbcp (glycosylated bovine bone collagen hydrolysates (peptides)). The results of amino acid analysis showed that amino acid composition of different bone collagen hydrolysates was significantly different and the amino acid decreased to different degrees after Maillard glycosylated reaction, which may lead to differences in Maillard glycosylated reaction activity. …”
