Abstract: The present invention relates to a collagen hydrolysate which is produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of type-B bone gelatin, wherein the collagen hydrolysate is formed from peptides of which at least 50% by weight, in particular at least 70% by weight have a molecular weight of 1,500 Da to 3,500 Da, and which have a mean molecular weight in the range from 4,000 Da to 8,000 Da, in particular in the range from 4,500 Da to 6,000 Da. The invention also relates to the use of this collagen hydrolysate as an active ingredient to maintain and/or improve the health of the bones, in particular to prevent and/or treat osteoporosis. The invention further relates to a nutritional supplement which comprises the collagen hydrolysate.

Abstract: A spunbonded fabric comprises continuous thermoplastic filaments, which adhere to one another at their intersecting points without binder, and whose material comprises at least 50 weight % biodegradable polycaprolactone having a mean molecular weight of from 35,000 to 70,000. In the production process of the spunbonded fabric, no additional stabilization step is necessary after the filaments are deposited.

Abstract: Disclosed is an additive containing vegetable protein hydrolyzates for cosmetic preparations. The additive consists mostly of protein components having molecular weights greater than 10,000 and short-chain protein components as well as mono-, di- and/or oligosaccharides.
