Collagen in abalone accounts for 30% ~ 50% of the total protein in winter, which is much higher than that in general fish and shellfish.

Collagen contains a variety of bioactive peptides, which have good physiological functions, such as anti-oxidation, lowering blood pressure, preventing arthritis, protecting gastric mucosa and anti-ulcer, and promoting skin collagen metabolism. In addition, the high content of collagen in muscle also has a great influence on the texture of abalone.
