Also claimed are: an extracted collagen form characterised by e.g. giving a negative toluidine blue reaction, or resistant to the proteolytic action of pancreatin for more than 24 hrs., an aq. based collagen gel comprising a collagen aq. suspension treated with CO2, and an aq. based collagen gel satd. with CO2.</p> |
