A process for the production of a soluble collagen product and an insoluble collagen product from mammalian dermis tissue is described. The tissue may initially be processed to remove the epidermis and adipose tissue and then minced into small pieces. The process includes washing the minced dermis in an enzymatic solution, such as an amylase solution followed by homogenizing the amylased tissue. The soluble and insoluble collagen is then extracted from the homogenized tissue and subsequently separated into distinct soluble and insoluble fractions. The process produces collagen with high Dalton values that can subsequently be combined to produce a mixed composite collagen product. Also, the extracted collagen may be used as an integral composite collagen before separation.
