Résumé : |
As part of an investigation into the feasibility of removing from a hide some or all of its decorin while it is being processed into leather, we studied the effects on the physical characteristics of the leather of subjecting the hide to vigorous proteolysis. We used two proteolytic enzyme preparations, one during reliming, and the second for bating post liming. The first is a commercially produced alkaline protease (AP). Extending the work of Alexander in England and of Kronick at Eastern Regional Research Center, ARS, USDA, we found that, for each observed physical property, viz., tensile strength (Smax), Young's modulus (Y), and extensibility (E), the value for the AP-treated samples differed from the corresponding control value by < 6-8% (the least significant difference), thus demonstrating that AP does not adversely affect any of the three physical characteristics. The AP-treated hides are, however, substantially softer and more flexible than the controls. The second protease preparation is one that we made from a halophile selected because it does not produce collagenase. This protease is active in 4M NaCl at a mildly alkaline pH. Bating with the halophile protease in 4M NaCl was found to yield a leather with satisfactory physical characteristics (Smax, Y, and E). High salt concentration will be used experimentally to loosen the tight (albeit non-covalent) bonding of decorin to collagen, thus rendering the proteoglycan more susceptible to proteolysis and removal from the hide. |
