Abstract
A considerable amount of squid mantle collagen, 45% to 70% of total collage n, was not solubilized even after 30 min of heating in boiling water with i ts fibrous structure left intact. Pyridinoline, one of the major intermolec ular crosslinks in matured collagen, was more predominantly included in the insoluble collagen than in the soluble one (p < 0.05). These results sugge st that pyridinoline is closely related to the heat solubility of squid col lagen.
