In this study, the possibility of keratin extraction from wool and feather by an enzymatic
treatment along with a reducing agent has been investigated. The effects of different …

In the present study, wool fibers were hydrolyzed in the acidic environment. The pH value of
wool hydrolyzed solution was adjusted based on the principle of isoelectric precipitation …

This study investigated some physicochemical properties of keratin extracted from Merino
wool using five chemical extraction methods: alkali hydrolysis, sulfitolysis, reduction …

The aim of this paper was to select keratin hydrolysate with bioactive properties by using the
enzymatic hydrolysis of wool. Different proteolytic enzymes such as Protamex, Esperase …

We have developed a novel thermal hydrolysis process (THP) to extract and hydrolyze
keratin from keratinous animal body wastes without using any chemicals. Our process …

Keratin proteins are the major components of hair, feathers, wool and horns and represent
an important source of renewable raw materials for many applications. The dissolution of the …

Keratin from wool fibers was extracted with different extraction methods, for example
oxidation, reduction, sulfitolysis, and superheated water hydrolysis. Different samples of …

Keratin is considered a major animal product. It can be obtained from the sources such as
animal feathers, hair, hoof, and nails. Such keratinous materials have high protein content …

Keratin was extracted from different segments of disposable waste chicken feathers (CF)
including the whole feathers, calamus/rachis (β-sheet) and barbs/barbules (α-helix), using …

Background Hair is composed mainly of keratin protein and a small amount of lipid. Protein
hydrolysates, in particular those with low molecular weight distribution have been known to …
