• Acid‐ and pepsin‐soluble collagen were purified from the skin of mahi mahi (mmASC and mmPSC). The Pro+Hyp content of the latter (185/1,000 residues) was highest among all marine teleost fishes. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Circular Dichroism (CD) analysis showed the typical structure of type I collagen. The ratio of positive over negative peak intensity calculated from the CD spectrum was approximately 1.19 in mmPSC, which is remarkably high, and indicates the stability of the triple helix. The denaturation temperatures (Td) of mmASC and mmPSC were the highest (29.5 and 28.8°C, respectively) among the marine teleost fishes previously studied. atomic force microscope and scanning electron microscope images showed that even after pretreatment, the fibrils presented their structure and fiber orientation. These results indicate the robustness of both collagens, which can be attributed to the high value of Pro+Hyp stabilizing the helix structure of the collagen molecule. Practical applications While Mahi mahi is highly valuable for its meat, other parts such as skin is not fully utilized in seafood industry. On the contrary, it has been empirically shown that the skin of Mahi mahi has high thermal stability, thus, the skin has been used for leather products in some areas located in the tropical and subtropical zones. In this study, we focused on collagen a major component in skin and investigated the structure and the biochemical characteristics of it. Some results showed that collagen from skin has high physical stability. The collagen from skin of Mahi mahi will be a new fishery resource which could be used as a material for collagen products.
