Extraction of keratin from waste chicken feathers using sodium sulfide and L-cysteine

Keratin was extracted from different segments of disposable waste chicken feathers (CF) including the whole feathers, calamus/rachis (β-sheet) and barbs/barbules (α-helix), using sodium sulfide and L-cysteine. The yield of extracted keratin from sodium sulfide and L-cysteine was ˜88% and ˜66% respec...

description Keratin was extracted from different segments of disposable waste chicken feathers (CF) including the whole feathers, calamus/rachis (β-sheet) and barbs/barbules (α-helix), using sodium sulfide and L-cysteine. The yield of extracted keratin from sodium sulfide and L-cysteine was ˜88% and ˜66% respectively. The mass ratio of feathers to reducing agent was 1:20 and the reaction temperature was 40 °C for 6 h. Concentration of keratin extracted by each method was measured using the Bradford assay. The protein extracted from each feather section was characterised using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, vibrational spectroscopy including FTIR and Raman, nuclear magnetic resonance, and thermogravimetry. These results confirmed the keratin structures after each extraction methods. The study showed that α-helix and ß-sheet based keratin could be extracted from CF using sodium sulfide and L-cysteine with high yields. This is the first report of CF keratin extraction using L-cysteine.
