ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a novel collagen production method wherein the collagen-containing tissues are fermented to extract the collagen. The fermentation process employs microorganisms, including but is not limited to bacteria and yeast. The present invention is also directed to collagen product comprising collagen produced by fermentation.
