Information  at a Glance Contents of the Data Base
  • Keratin is one of structural protein composing our stratum corneum, hair and nail. Specially it comprises 80% of human’s hair. In terms of its amino acid composition, it has cystine which rarely seen in any other kinds of protein. In association with disulfide bond, it has very unique molecular structure that peptide is well cross-linked. Because of this structure, much functional end group such as amino groups and carboxyl groups exist within a single molecule. Consequently, high adsorption can be arose from Keratin. It gives hair strength and body
  • The main sources of Keratin ingredients are sheep wool and bovine hoof (nail) or horn.8 Goat (cashmere) wool and bird (chicken) feathers may also be used. Human hair was once a major source of Keratin, but its use is now limited because of the European ban on human-sourced materials for cosmetics. These differing sources could potentially produce or result in keratin with unique properties, which may result in varying compositions and impurities within a single ingredient (e.g., Keratin from human hair may have some impurities that are different from Keratin obtained from bird feathers)
  • Keratin proteins extracted from hair are classified into 3 broad groups: alpha, beta, and gamma.12 α-Keratin (found in hair fiber cortex) is low in sulfur content and has an average molecular weight of 60-80 kDa. β-Keratin is protective and forms the majority of the hair cuticle; this type of keratin is difficult to extract. γ-Keratin is globular, high in sulfur content, and has a molecular weight of ~15 kDa
  • The keratin-derived ingredients function mainly as skin and hair conditioning agents
    in personal care products. There are the following 8 keratin-derived ingredients:
    Hydrolyzed Keratin
    Hydrolyzed Hair Keratin
    Hydrolyzed Oxidized Keratin
    Hydrolyzed Sulfonated Keratin
    Keratin
    Oxidized Keratin
    Soluble Keratin
    Sulfonated Keratin
  • Keratins are difficult to solubilize compared to other proteins. After mechanical means of processing, such as grinding of materials like animal horn, one of the first known processes for extracting keratins involved harsh (caustic) conditions using lime. Eventually, a number of oxidative and reductive methods were developed for extracting keratin.
  • Hydrolyzed Keratin may be prepared from sheep wool. The wool is first washed to remove soil and debris and then boiled to remove residual oils. Next, the wool is enzyme-hydrolyzed under mild conditions for 4-6 hours. When the target molecular weight is reached, the pH is adjusted to neutralize the enzyme. The resultant solution is a mixture of Hydrolyzed Keratin fractions with a molecular weight of ~ 1000 Da. The solution may be diluted to produce a 30% active material
  • Keratin which is obtained from biomass like human hair, nails, animals, horns, claws, hooves, feather, wool, hoof and outer layer of skin and plant such as maize, wheat and rice
    has vast applications in pharmaceutical industry.
  • These animal keratin and phytokeratin can be used very safely on human being. This is one of the major step for the reducing the waste of biomass including plants and animals.
