  • Patent number: 8748499
    Abstract: A stable dispersion of insoluble collagen is provided by a microfluidization process. The dispersions of insoluble collagen protein remain in stable suspension under long term storage conditions, with minimal or no settling or precipitation. More specifically the invention provides a stable dispersion of insoluble collagen comprising collagen particles wherein 50% by volume of said particles are less than 30 micrometers in width. These dispersions provide collagen in an aqueous form, which enables ease of incorporation into food and beverages and ease of administration to people or other mammals in need of collagen.
