Soaking
Enzymes Restoration
of the water of salted stock is a process that traditionally applied surfactants
of more or less biodegradability. Alkaline Proteases, with a pH optimum
around 9-10, are now widely used to clean the stock and facilitate the water uptake
of the hide or skin. The enzyme breaks down soluble proteins inside the matrix,
thus facilitating the removal of salt and hyaluronic acid. This makes room for
the water. Lipases provide synergy. SEBSoak is highly effective enzyme
from AETL for soaking application. |
