Recent update: collagen extraction from marine resources as a promising natural antiaging

Abstract

Aging is a natural process that occurs in every human. Aging can be prevented or slowed down through the appropriate and suitable use of collagen as an anti-aging treatment. Collagen is typically derived from raw materials such as pig or cow bones/skin, but recently there have been frequent outbreaks of infectious diseases among livestock, prompting the exploration of raw materials sourced from the sea to address this issue and create promising collagen for anti-aging purposes. The objective of this literature review research is to explore the potential of collagen extracts from marine resources as an anti-aging solution through an examination of relevant literature, which can serve as a reference for future research. A systematic review method was employed by collecting data from various literature sources, including research journals published both nationally and internationally, which discuss various marine resources containing collagen with anti-aging properties. Based on the systematic review, several natural resources containing collagen with anti-aging properties were identified, including sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea sp.), milkfish (Chanos chanos), tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), jellyfish (Rhopilema esculentum), starfish (Asterias pectinifera), mackerel (Decapterus macarellus), squid (Todarodes pacificus), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), and blue sharks (Prionace glauca).
