Description
Livestock is a major industry that generates a range of wastes and low value co-products such as keratinous hair, horns, feathers and hooves. Enzymatic hydrolysis of keratin could generate products with added value, although process challenges arise from the highly recalcitrant nature of the material. Outcomes of this work include an optimised process with over 85% of the solid material solubilised by hydrolysis, and an understanding of keratinase enzyme performance that will aid future process development towards the generation of value-added products from low value livestock keratin.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
