Development, Characterization, and Anti-Aging Potential of Fish Collagen Peptide-Based Beverages with Bovine Colostrum

This study aims to formulate, evaluate, develop, and characterize Fish Collagen Peptide-Based Beverages (FCPB) supplemented with bioactive compounds, including Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-β), from Bovine Colostrum (BC) in varying concentrations (۰-۴%) to enhance health benefits. Incorporating BC into FCPB beverages (FCPB- BC) improved their physicochemical properties, characteristics, and antioxidant levels. The resulting FCPB-BC beverages exhibited desirable physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity, and stability. The physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory properties of pasteurized FCPB-BC were evaluated over a storage period of ۲۸ days at elevated temperatures (۳۷°C). Remarkably, the shelf-life of these beverages extended to one year, ensuring prolonged preservation of their enhanced properties. Notably, the conversion ratio of ۰.۱۶ g BC into FCPB beverages (FCPB-BC۲) demonstrated superior stability and benefits compared to the higher concentrations of ۰.۲۴ g (FCPB-BC۳) and ۰.۳۲ g (FCPB-BC۴), where protein precipitation was observed. Specifically, FCPB-BC۲ showed consistent sensor readings with the E-Nose, maintaining stable values over time, such as ۱.۰۷۵ (week ۱), ۰.۹۸۳ (week ۲), and ۰.۹۷۳ (week ۴) for W۱C, and ۰.۸۲۸ (week ۱) to ۱.۴۶۸ (week ۴) for W۵S, indicating superior sensory consistency. In contrast, FCPB-BC۳ and FCPB-BC۴ exhibited greater fluctuations in sensor responses, such as ۰.۸۸۷ (week ۱) to ۱.۱۶۴ (week ۴) for W۱S in FCPB-BC۳ and ۱.۱۶۴ (week ۱) to ۱.۲۸۸ (week ۳) for W۱S in FCPB-BC۴. These findings support  the conclusion that FCPB-BC۲ is the optimal formulation, offering the best stability and promising health benefits for future development. Additionally, efficacy assessment demonstrated significant improvements in skin characteristics, including elasticity and hydration of the stratum corneum, after ۲۸ days of application. Wrinkle characteristics, such as surface roughness and volume, were markedly reduced, with improved skin appearance, elasticity, firmness, and hydration. The FCPB-BC beverages offer a natural and safe alternative for those searching for non-invasive anti-aging remedies.
