Keratin powder

Keratin, a member of a family of fibrous structural proteins, is the main protein that makes up hair, horns, claws and the outer layer of human skin. Keratin protects epithelial tissue cells from damage or stress. Keratin monomers are bundled to form intermediate protein, IP

Product information                                                                                                                                                  
What is Keratin Powder?
The keratin peptide chain is a multi-domain peptide chain, which is divided into a highly retained rod-shaped middle region and a telopeptide region. The peptide chain of the rod-like domain has a periodic sequence structure of 8 peptide repeats. All intermediate fibril eggs have similar peptide chain structures. The keratin peptide chain is a typical α-helix. The heterogeneous complex helix formed by the combination of acidic and basic keratin peptide chains is the characteristic conformation form of keratin.
More than 20 types of keratin peptide chains have been discovered. Hair keratin and epidermal keratin are composed of different keratin peptide chains. Keratin contains high levels of cysteine, and the cross-linking of cysteine is the main cross-linking structure of keratin. The physical and chemical properties of keratin are mainly related to this cross-linking structure.
Because keratin contains a lot of cystine, it has a particularly high content of disulfide bonds, which play a cross-linking role in the protein peptide chain. Therefore, keratin has particularly stable chemical properties and high mechanical strength. They are less soluble and digestible, contain more cystine (14-15%), and have a higher nitrogen content (21-24.5%). The digestibility of crushed feathers and pig hair can be increased to 70-80% and the cystine content is reduced by 5-6% when heated under 15-20 pounds of steam pressure for one hour.

What is the role of Keratin?
1. Feed and food industry
Feather keratin can be used as high-quality feed protein. Keratin can also be used to produce amino acid trace element chelators, which can react with trace metal ions necessary for the growth of livestock and poultry to form coordination compounds with a cyclic structure, improving the utilization of trace elements. Feather keratin is also rich in glutamic acid, aspartic acid and other umami amino acids, which can be used to make new food additives for use in the food processing industry.
2. Pharmaceuticals
Research has found that some skin diseases are caused by keratinase produced by fungi that penetrates the skin. This characteristic can be used to develop drugs to treat fungal skin diseases. The compound keratin amino acid solution can be directly injected into the human body to supplement nutrition and replace part of human plasma. The cystine in keratin has a liver-protective effect and can effectively prevent fatty liver, cirrhosis and other liver diseases. It also has significant effects in the treatment of cystomyositis, alopecia, toxic diseases, etc.
3. Fertilizers, pesticides and environmental protection
The processed feather meal contains up to about 5% nitrogen source, which can be used to produce liquid amino acid compound fertilizer as a substitute for animal manure and become a cheaper fertilizer.
Amino acids and their derivatives and metal complexes produced by hydrolysis of keratin have the dual effects of sterilizing and preventing diseases and stimulating growth of crops, and can be used as fungicides, insecticides, herbicides and plant growth promoters. Hydrolyze feathers to prepare complex amino acids, and react with calcium carbonate to prepare complex amino acid calcium compounds. This compound can reduce pesticide residues in crops by hydrolyzing the phosphate bonds in organophosphorus pesticides.
4. Tannery industry
Filling cowhide leather with feather hydrolyzate can significantly improve the softness and elongation of the leather, without having a significant impact on the tensile strength, tear strength and dye absorption rate of the leather. After appropriate alkali degradation treatment, the protein mixture obtained from feathers can be used as filling material for shoe upper leather and clothing leather to improve the dyeing performance of the leather and make the leather more elastic. In addition, feather protein can also be used as a resurfacing agent for chrome leather.
5. Cosmetics
Keratin can be used in cosmetics. Keratin has highly resistant physical and chemical properties and special biological effects, and plays an important role in maintaining the normal physiological functions of the epidermis. Keratinase is used in beauty and skin care products to help active factors penetrate the skin barrier, remove excess skin keratin, and achieve deep skin care and hair removal research. It has a good prospect in the field of skin beauty.
