Abstract Collagen powder hydrolysates were reacted with a solution of commercial mimosa bark tannin extract. The mixture was prepared at ambient temperature and prepared at 80°C to determine what reactions, if any, did occur
between the collagen protein through its amino acids and the polyphenolic condensed tannin. The reaction products obtained were analyzed by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI ToF) mass
spectrometry. Reactions between the two materials did appear to occur, with the formation of a relatively small
proportion of covalent and ionic linkages at ambient temperature but a considerable proportion of covalent linkages… More >
