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...
