leather manufacturing involves a crucial energy-intensive drying stage in the finishing process to remove its residual moisture. determining drying characteristics of leather is vitally important so as to optimize the drying stage. this paper describes an analytical way for determination of the drying characteristics of leather. the model presented, is based on fundamental heat and mass transfe...

Abstract The study aimed to detect elastin protein extracted from leftover bovine leather that is not used in other industries, by conducting some tests identify this and its functional properties the possibility of using it scientific applications, as chemical composition showed contains a high percentage low percentages moisture, fat ash, were conducted find out ability bind water oil compare...

Abstract The recycling of leather solid waste not only involves resource utilization and environmental protection but also has important significance for the sustainable development industry. In this paper, was crushed into fibers, which were stabilized mixed with nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR). mixture milled vulcanized a composite NBR-SLF (Stabilized Leather Fiber) is prepared sealing materia...

The skin before being tanned has a drawback that is it very easy to be attacked by microorganisms. Thus, necessary develop antimicrobial through the application of nanoparticles. Antibacterial and antifungal activities, contact angle, mechanical properties goat pickle leather after modification with silver nanoparticles methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) in situ ex method had been conducted. Silver ...

Highly toxic contaminants like Cr, As, and Pb were detected in chrome-tanning process of animal skin to produce leather by applying locally developed laser-induced breakdown spectrometer. An Nd-YAG laser with 1,064 nm wavelength was focused on the surface of leather samples (natural and manufactured) to generate a plasma spark and spectrally resolved spectra were used for identification and qua...

Fruit leather is a processed food product in the form of thin sheets made from fruit and through drying process. Pineapple tropical that popular among public, but it perishable. In this study, gotu kola (Centella asiatica) pectin were added to increase nutritional content health benefits leather. The purpose study was determine effect addition on physicochemical sensory properties pineapple fin...
