Résumé : |
In 1995 the United States exported over 20 million cattle hides with a market value of at least $1.4 billion dollars US. More than 70% of these hides are currently brine cured. The remainder are exported following chrome tanning as "wet blue stock". Brine curing has been an effective method for the preservation of hides for centuries. The process works well due to the fact that most degradative microorganisms are unable to survive the high concentrations of salt and the resultant low water activity present in the cured hide. Brine curing of hides does not, however, protect them from attack by halophilic bacteria. Extensive growth of these highly pigmented bacteria makes them readily visible to the naked eye. This condition is known industrially as 'red heat". It has long been believed by most hide processors, and tanners, that the presence of red heat indicates potential grain damage to the hide. Damage to the grain layer results in defective leather and significant financial loss to the industry. |
