Personally I am not too sure if such a thing exists I always thought <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>collagen<\/strong> originated from mammals and fish.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially what I understood was that manufacturers of per say this plant <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>collagen<\/strong> hydrolyze several forms of gluten or wheat proteins to achieve a so called <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>collagen<\/strong>.  Due to the nature of processing plant <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>collagen<\/strong> is inactive and has no bioactive activity rending it similar to consuming fried egg white (albumin).<\/p>\n<p>Another question given to us from numerous customers was the taste and smell of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>collagen<\/strong> be it from a variety of sources predominately bovine and marine. My usual response to most customers is based on the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Garbage in garbage out<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If your raw material is low quality in this case aged, oxidized, fermented and spoilt for example. Either you purify it further or you literally create a &#8220;garbage&#8221; raw material.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Instinctive_role_of_smell\"><\/span>Instinctive role of smell<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Instinctively smell plays an important role in food and for centuries we humans have yet to get it wrong.<br \/>\nLet me paint you a simple scenario, when fruit or meat is spoilt it gives off an unpleasant odor indicating spoilage. How much can this differ from a raw material used for food products?<\/p>\n<p>Through my own opinion, I will agree a certain degree of off odors are expected due to the nature of the product. But a strong pungent smell would indicate a low quality product which is true in all instance for <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>collagen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Terminologies\"><\/span>Terminologies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Hydrolysed Collagen<\/strong> &#8211; Should originate from a source of gelatin longer chained <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>collagen<\/strong> where water is removed from the compound to make a smaller molecule of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>collagen<\/strong> as measured in Daltons (Da).<\/p>\n<p>Collagen &#8211; Describes a group of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>amino acids<\/strong> which encompass several types.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Collagen from Plants?
