Burnbrae farms have given priority to research work that will eventually lead to commercial production ofgelatin from egg shell membrane, which will provide value-addition to their poultry products. The first step ingelatin production is to extract collagen from the egg shell membrane. In the previous Engage grant, successfulextraction of collagen from egg shell membranes was achieved at a yield level that is compatible withcommercial production. However, in order to become a useful industrial product, the water-insoluble collagenmust be converted into water-soluble gelatin. Therefore, the aim of this proposal is to develop a simple processfor the production of gelatin from egg shell membrane collagen. Several protocols that include enzymatic andnon-enzymatic reactions will be tested for the breakdown of collagen into gelatin. The gelatin product will becharacterized mainly for functional properties (gelling, foaming and emulsification) that will demonstrate itsindustrial uses. The proposed work will lead to the development of a collagen conversion process that can bereadily scale-up at the pilot plant and commercial production levels. The optimized collagen conversionprocess will enhance the economic value of egg shell membranes that are currently considered as a low-valuewaste product.

Burnbrae农场已经优先考虑研究工作，最终将导致从蛋壳膜中生产明胶的商业生产，这将为他们的家禽产品提供附加值。生产卵磷脂的第一步是从蛋壳膜中提取胶原蛋白。在之前的Engage资助中，从蛋壳膜中成功提取胶原蛋白的产量水平与商业生产相兼容。然而，为了成为有用的工业产品，必须将不溶于水的胶原蛋白转化为水溶性明胶。因此，本提案的目的是开发一种从蛋壳膜胶原蛋白生产明胶的简单工艺。包括酶促和非酶促反应在内的几种方案将测试胶原蛋白分解成明胶的情况。明胶产品的主要特征是功能特性（胶凝，发泡和乳化），将证明其工业用途。拟议的工作将导致胶原蛋白转化过程的发展，可以在试点工厂和商业生产水平上迅速扩大规模。优化的胶原蛋白转化过程将提高目前被认为是低价值废物的蛋壳膜的经济价值。
