Applications
Where processors put keratin hydrolysis to work: feather lines at rendering plants, hair and wool waste streams, amino-acid fertilizer and cosmetic peptide production. Tell us your process, the quantity and the destination, and we quote per order.
Feather Meal Processing
Hydrolyzes keratin in poultry feathers to convert waste into digestible, high-protein feather meal for animal feed.
Learn more →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 and wool residues for hair-care, nail-care and skin-care ingredient lines.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Keratinase (EC 3.4.99.11) used for?
It is used to hydrolyze keratin-rich materials such as 🪶 poultry feathers, 💇 hair and wool waste, and related keratin by-products into soluble peptides/protein hydrolysates for feed, biofertilizer, and cosmetic ingredient applications.
What pH and temperature should I run for Keratinase?
For best performance, operate within pH 7.0–10.0 and 50°C–70°C. Final dosing and exact conditions should be confirmed through your substrate-specific trials.
How should I interpret the activity value (10,000–100,000 U/g)?
The range reflects measured enzyme units per gram using the keratin azure assay. Higher activity typically enables faster keratin breakdown at the same dosage; formulation should be optimized for your process.
What substrate types can Keratinase handle?
Keratinase is designed for tough keratin substrates including poultry feathers, hair, and wool-derived materials. It is commonly applied to waste streams from feed, textile, and slaughterhouse operations.
How should I store Keratinase to maintain shelf life?
Store sealed in a cool, dry place. The shelf life is 12 months under proper storage conditions; avoid moisture exposure and follow the COA/TDS guidance provided with your shipment.
What should a quote request include?
The product (activity grade: 50,000 or 100,000 U/g), the quantity per order or per year, the pack size (1 kg, 5 kg or 25 kg), the destination country, and your substrate and target output. Price is quoted per order; we respond within 24 hours.
Do you supply distributors and resellers?
Yes. Distributors, resellers and formulators request quotes the same way as end users: send the grade, the quantity and the destination. MOQ is 1 kg; price and lead time are quoted per order.
