Mexican researchers evaluated the antioxidant properties of collagen extracted from the skin and gall of Oreochromis sp., also known as red tilapia. Their findings were published in the Journal of Medicinal Food.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that red tilapia skin collagen can be used as an active ingredient in nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals and functional foods.
