Overview

This investigation shows calcium ions enhance hide protein resistance while affecting protease activity, suggesting optimized unhairing approaches.

Key Points

  • The addition of calcium ions significantly reduced protease hydrolytic activity on hide proteins, leading to improved resistance.
  • Calcium ions protect collagen fibers but hinder the removal of noncollagenous proteins during the unhairing process.
  • The chosen optimal process involves neutral protease, lime, and sodium sulfide, enhancing leather quality.
  • Understanding the interaction of calcium ions with hide proteins offers insights for designing effective unhairing strategies.
