Abstract
The objective of this research work is to extract collagen from the chicken skin and also make an attempt to develop a collagen
based sheet as a biomaterial. Consumption of broiler meat level is always high when compared to beef, mutton and chevon
because of low cost and no religious taboo in the society. This has lead to increase in slaughter rate and generation of large
amount of by-products. In poultry meat retail shop the by-products wastes produced are mostly disposed of into water bodies, free
lands which ultimately leads to environmental pollution. Hence in this study, the chicken skin was utilized to extract collagen using
acetic acid solubilisation method. The extracted collagen was lyophilized, evaluated for its characteristic quality parameters and
collagensheet was prepared with addition of chitosanas biomaterial.
