Abstract

In recent years, consumer awareness of the benefits of collagen has driven a steady increase in demand for collagen-based products. However, mammalian collagen poses health risks and may not be suitable for individuals due to religious reasons. As a result, marine collagen has emerged as a safer and more promising alternative, gaining significant attention. Jellyfish collagen, in particular, has shown potential as a transformative marine biomaterial with applications in food, supplements, cosmetics, medicine, and biomedical materials. It offers several advantages, including antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory effects, and immunomodulatory activities. Despite its potential, jellyfish collagen products are still scarce in the market. This review examines the extraction and characterization of jellyfish collagen, its physicochemical properties, and the opportunities and challenges in utilizing this marine collagen. Finally, it explores the potential commercial value and future product development to enhance human health.
