Keratin(Keratin) is a kind of structural protein, mainly found in the keratinous tissue of animals, such as skin, hair and nails. It has the following properties:
1. Strength and flexibility: Keratin has high strength and flexibility, which enables it to provide structural support and protection.
2. Water resistance: Keratin is not easy to dissolve in water, so it can effectively resist the influence of moisture and humidity on its structure.
3. Heat resistance: Keratin can withstand high temperatures, so it can be used in different heat treatment processes.
Keratin has a wide range of applications, including:
1. Pharmaceutical industry: Keratin can be used in the production of drug delivery systems, biomedical materials and wound healing auxiliary materials.
2. Biomaterials and Engineering: The special properties of Keratin make it ideal for manufacturing fibers, films and other high-performance materials.
3. cosmetics field: Keratin can strengthen and protect hair, nails and skin, so it is widely used in skin care products and hair products.
Keratin are usually prepared by the following methods:
1. extraction: extract Keratin from animal tissues, such as wool, bird feathers and animal horns.
2. synthesis: through the synthesis of protein technology to prepare Keratin.
in the use of Keratin need to pay attention to security issues:
1. Allergic reactions: A few people may be allergic to Keratin, so an allergy test is required before use.
2. Compatibility with other chemical substances: Keratin may react with certain chemical substances, so contact with incompatible substances should be avoided during use.
