The paper deals with the possibility of processing category 2 animal byproducts with a ferment preparation. We chose collagen-rich cattle lips and ears as the category 2 byproducts for our study. The selected samples were processed in the following sequence: fixation, rinsing with running water, densifying the samples, slicing into sections, dying sections, and enclosing the sections under cover glass. The pathohistomorphologic changes found in the control samples significantly differ both before the processing and after the use of the ferment preparation Protepsin, which caused destructive metabolic and hydrolytic processes in the dense connective tissue of the ear and lip framework and led to softening of the muscle parenchyma of the organs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
