In the low temperature processing of natural shark cartilage into a substantially 100 % pure finely divided state, the cartilage is separated from any residual shark tissue, then chopped into particles of about 1/4 inch and dried. The dried shark cartilage is then further reduced in particle size to about 100 to 325 mesh. Thereafter, a conditioning step is used to germinate any bacterial spores present in the shark cartilage. The conditioned shark cartilage, with the bacteria germinated during the conditioning step is then exposed to a sterilizing gas to destroy substantially all of the activated germinated bacteria under low temperature conditions which do not degrade the inherent nutritional content or denature the potency of the protein activity of the natural shark cartilage. |
