N2 - In the present study, we aimed to produce mineralized-collagen by hydrothermal process. A simple
method not depending on additional foreign chemicals has been employed to isolate the
mineralized-collagen fibers from bovine waste. The process of extraction involves the use of
hydrothermal method from available bovine bones. The structural and morphological properties of
the collagen fibers were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy and transmission
electron microscopy. These results indicated well received collagen fibers, having a diameter less
than 1 m and with established mineral content in the individual fibers. The X-ray diffraction showed
the crystalline feature of the obtained nano-compounds. The thermo gravimetric analysis was used
to differentiate between the collagen and mineral parts of obtained product. Overall, the results
generously indicated production of well received collagen fibers from bovine bones.
