Valorization of keratin waste biomass and its potential applications

Keratin is a major structural protein with high sulphur content. It is predominantly found in chicken feathers, wool, hair, hoof, and nails. Over the years, the accumulation of keratin waste has become an uncontrollable entity throughout the world. Environmental aspects may reduce the load of waste generation by waste process engineering. Such studies focus on the safe and effective conversion of keratin-based slow degradable wastes by green...
