Keratin Production
Unlocking the Value of Feathers
At IncBio, we harness the untapped potential of feathers, a rich source of keratin, to produce valuable materials for various industries. Our cutting-edge technology transforms this byproduct of the poultry industry into high-quality keratin, used in applications ranging from cosmetics and pharmaceuticals to biodegradable materials. By converting waste into valuable products, IncBio contributes to a more sustainable and resource-efficient future.
Sustainable Keratin from Feathers
Feathers, typically considered waste in the poultry processing industry, contain keratin, a durable and fibrous protein known for its strength and resistance to degradation. IncBio’s innovative extraction process unlocks the value of keratin, transforming feathers into a versatile material used in a range of industries.
The advantages of IncBio’s keratin production from feathers include:
- Waste Reduction: Our process reduces waste by converting feathers into a valuable product, minimizing the environmental impact of poultry production.
- High-Quality Keratin: The extracted keratin maintains its natural properties, making it ideal for use in high-value industries such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and material science.
- Versatile Applications: From hair care and skincare products to biodegradable materials and coatings, keratin’s strength and bio-compatibility make it a sought-after ingredient across many industries.
The Keratin Extraction Process
IncBio’s keratin production involves advanced methods that break down the dense structure of feathers to extract and purify the keratin protein. The process includes:
- Feedstock Collection: Feathers are collected from poultry processing facilities as part of our sustainable resource recovery approach.
- Hydrolysis and Enzymatic Treatment: The feathers undergo hydrolysis or enzymatic treatment, which breaks down the tough keratin fibers. This step allows the keratin to be solubilized and separated from the feather matrix.
- Purification: The solubilized keratin is purified to remove any impurities, ensuring a high-quality, bioactive product suitable for various applications.
- Final Processing: Once purified, the keratin is dried and processed into a stable form, such as powder or liquid, ready for use in formulations for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or biodegradable materials.
Keratin Applications
IncBio’s keratin extracted from feathers offers immense value across several industries:
- Cosmetics and Personal Care: Keratin is widely used in hair care and skincare products due to its protective, strengthening, and conditioning properties, promoting healthier hair and skin.
- Pharmaceuticals: The biocompatibility and bioactive nature of keratin make it valuable for wound care, drug delivery systems, and other medical applications.
- Biodegradable Materials: Keratin’s natural durability and sustainability make it an ideal component for producing eco-friendly films, coatings, and other biodegradable products.
