Abstract

Degradation of collagen after one day incubation with pancreatic juice or various enzymes was studied. About 6% was degraded by trypsin or by pancreatic juice containing active trypsin. Collagen degradation was much less when incubated with fresh inactive pancreatic juice or pancreatic juice containing trypsin inhibitor. The extensive digestion of collagen previously reported could not be confirmed.
