| Abstract | ||
| The most prevalent protein in the animal kingdom, collagen plays a crucial role in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Resources both natural and manmade are used to extract collagen. The finest materials are those found in nature, such as (fish wastes, animal skin, and Waste Bovine). Due to its availability, affordability, and intriguing physical and chemical properties—particularly its biocompatibility and biodegradability—collagen has garnered significant interest across a number of industries. Nevertheless, collagen has poor chemical and physical properties (enzyme resistance, thermostability, and mechanical strength). Collagen must be altered throughout the processing procedure. Collagen is an environmentally beneficial substance that may be utilized in the dyeing of textiles (wool, cotton), finishing (water repellent, antibacterial, antistatic, and UV protection), printing (3D printing), and the production of biodegradable products. | ||
