Résumé : |
Unlike the conventional hair-saving unhairing processes, the modern processes considerably reduce the organic load from the beamhouse liquid effluent and yet a partially degraded 'hair waste' is generated, which has to be properly disposed of. It is estimated that a tannery processing 25 ton of salted cow hides will recover about 2.5 ton of wet hair per day.
As was mentioned in the first part of the series 'Fungal biotransformation of bovine hair' the aim of our activities is to produce structural changes in the ‘hair waste’ using it as a solid substrate for the growth of the fungal species Trichophyton ajelloi and therefore weakening the keratinÃs resistance to hydrolysis processes.
A strain of this microorganism, which was isolated from a Yak yard, has proved to be able to generate an enzymatic system capable of degrading hair keratin by means of specific proteases: the keratinases. Fungal activity also gave place to an enzymatic extract with activity upon the protein substrates of the epidermis and dermis of bovine hide.
It should be noted that reports on fungal pathogenesis indicated that Trichophyton ajelloi presents no pathogenicity for men or animals.
Upgrading the 'hair waste' by fungal biotransformation implies considering it as a raw material and not taking the current modality of 'throwing away proteins' to the soil (cost of transport and disposal of waste in landfills).
Biodegradation offers on the one hand the attractive concept of 'feedback' since hair is the solid substrate upon which fungi act generating a degraded organic waste and a protein extract with proteolytic activity (keratinolytic among others) whose unhairing activity is evaluated. On the other hand an intermediate stage would be generated in the transformation of the ‘hair waste’ with potential uses in vermiculture and vermicompost. |
