## Applications
- Feather Meal Processing: Hydrolyzes keratin in poultry feathers to convert waste into digestible, high-protein feather meal for animal feed.
- Hair & Wool Waste Valorization: Degrades keratin-rich waste from barbershops, wool processing, and slaughterhouses into usable protein hydrolysate.
- Biofertilizer Production: Transforms keratin waste into nitrogen-rich liquid biofertilizer, providing a slow-release amino acid source for crops.
- Cosmetic Keratin Peptides: Produces keratin peptides from feather/wool waste for hair repair, nail strengthening, and skin care formulations.
- Prion Decontamination Research: Studied for degradation of prion proteins, supporting potential research directions for BSE/CJD decontamination of surgical instruments.
- Circular Economy Use-Cases: Enables waste-to-value conversion of keratin (3rd most abundant biopolymer), supporting zero-waste processing goals.
