Characteristic
Collagen peptide is a natural bioactive component, mainly composed of amino acid glycine (Gly), proline (Pro) and hydroxyproline (Hyp). It is produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of natural collagen extracted from animal connective tissue. As a digestible small molecule peptide, collagen peptide has positive effects on skin, cartilage and bone. Over the past few decades, many methods and techniques have been developed and employed for the preparation of various types of collagen bioactive peptides processed from seafood. Among these, fish collagen peptide derived from skin, bones and scales is the most commercially successful. It is a biomaterial that is now widely used in the food industry, and for cosmetic and medical applications due to its good biosafety, excellent biocompatibility and low price.

Applications
It is reported that fish collagen peptide is an efficient constituent of nutraceutical with excellent antioxidant activity. Therefore, it can be used as a functional ingredient to protect foods from oxidation. In addition, due to its anti-freeze activity, fish collagen peptide can be added to frozen foods to slow down or inhibit the rate of ice growth during storage, thus maintaining their textural quality.
Fish collagen peptide is widely used to improve facial skin quality due to its multifunctional biological activities, including antibacterial, anti-aging and anti-wrinkle activities. For example, cod skin-derived collagen peptides have been shown to inhibit photoaging by inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase expression via the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway [1]. This proves that the fish collagen peptide helps inhibit skin aging. In addition, clinical trials have shown that 6 weeks of fish collagen peptide intake significantly improves skin hydration in female volunteers [2].
Fish collagen peptide can be used in the medical field, especially for the prevention or treatment of diseases. For example, it can be used as an ingredient in medicines to improve low bone mineral density in patients with malnutrition and degenerative joint diseases [3]. In addition, fish collagen peptide can be used as a wound dressing due to its strong potential to promote wound healing. For example, Hu et al. evaluated the in vitro and in vivo wound healing potential of collagen peptides obtained by co-hydrolysis of Nile tilapia skin using neutral protease and papain. They found that this class of fish collagen peptides could enhance the wound healing process [4].
