Industrial Keratinase Powder – Solid Enzyme Additive for Leather Dehairing, Feather Hydrolysis & Feed Applications
Keratinase is an alkaline serine protease produced through deep liquid fermentation, extraction, and refining of selected high-quality strains.
In addition to keratin, keratinase can hydrolyze various protein substrates, including both soluble and insoluble proteins. It can degrade proteins such as casein, feathers, and wool.
Keratinase efficiently degrades proteins in feed, improves the digestion and utilization of protein in livestock and poultry, and reduces feeding costs.
Key Applications
- Leather industry: Enzymatic dehairing and keratin fiber processing
- Cosmetics industry: Keratin exfoliation and skincare formulations
