“…This collagen also contains other amino acid residues, such as arginine, aspartic acid, cysteine, histidine, hydroxylysine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, valine, and imino acids [36]. Several amino acids have been reported to be influential in the activity of free radical scavenging, including Trp, Tyr, Phe, Lys, and Arg [48]. Thus, the DPPH radical scavenging activity shown by our collagen samples was possibly due to the presence of the amino acids arginine, lysine, phenylalanine, and tyrosine.…”
