Hello,
I am looking for a method to dry jellyfish or collagen from jellyfish to powder, so it can be dissolved and regain a jelly-like consistency when rehydrated with water. I already tried drying it in at 40°C the oven, at room temperature with ethanol as well as freeze-drying, but the final products seemed to be insoluble in water.
I wonder if someone has experience with (freeze)-drying of a similar product? Would you recommend using lyoprotectants to keep the water-binding capacity of the collagen?
Thank you for your help!
Unfortunately, I do not have such methods and did not meet them in the literature that I studied. Unfortunately!
Have you tried foam mat drying? May be it will uncrease the surface area for drying and also will help in reconstitution.
Hello, unfortunately I cannot answer the question, but I am interested in this topic, especially as I am doing my research work on jellyfish and this part you are working on represents one section of the project. I would like to share your experience with jellyfish collagen.
If you could share the result of your work, it will be of skillful use to me.
