Comparative analysis of collagen-1 amongst locally-farmed tilapia samples as potential xenograft for partial-thickness burns

Background: Tilapia farming is amongst the most lucrative in terms of yield and return investments aquaculture industry Thailand. The sustainable supply tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) can be exploited to reconsider fish species as a huge potential for Thailand’s medical sector, particularly on xenograft an innovative treatment burns. Methods: Collagen content quantification by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method done two samples: Chitralada I (Thai locally cultured strain Oreochromis niloticus) pink (commercially Charoen Pokphand Foods PCL) skin compare amount type collagen (COL-I) measuring one its major amino acids, hydroxyproline, with Nile which has been used Brazil. Results: results showed that there no significant difference hydroxyproline strains. sample contains 9.01 g/100g (9.01%) 18.55 (18.55%) respectively. Conclusions: Since are minor differences between Thai locally-farmed tilapia; therefore, possible choice burn treatment.
