The Efficient Extraction Method of Collagen from Deteriorated Leather Artifacts.

ABSTRACT: Collagen is the most crucial component of leather artifacts and analyzing collagen can provide vital information for studying and conserving such artifacts. However, collagen in leather artifacts often faces challenges such as degradation, denaturation, and contamination, which make it difficult to achieve an ideal protein extract using traditional extraction methods. This study aimed to find an efficient collagen extraction strategy for aging leather by comparing and improving commonly used methods. The results of comparing different extraction methods indicated that a NaOH solution was highly effective in extracting collagen from aged leather. To determine the optimal conditions for collagen extraction from the NaOH solution, we conducted orthogonal experiments. The results revealed that
