India Scientists Use Gelatin Waste To Make Gelatin.

According to the India times (India Times) Monday, India Central To curry leather The Central Leather Research Institute has developed a new technology that can produce high quality gelatin (gelatine) from the waste animal skin. At the same time, this technology can also help reduce tannery waste.

High quality gelatin is usually made from collagen, and collagen is mainly extracted from animal bones and pig skin.

Now scientists have successfully extracted collagen from the remaining animal skin of leather making and synthesized gelatin. These wastes are called trimming wastes, which are usually intercepted from the neck, the ends and the tail of the whole animal skin. The extracted collagen then synthesized gelatin by hydrolysis (hydrolysis).

Gelatin is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry as a capsule and food industry to produce jelly, ice cream, Boudin, cakes and soups in the concentrate. Scientists say gelatin can be extracted from various animal skins, including goat, cow, sheep and buffalo.

B Madhan, director of the Research Institute and senior scientist, said that these solid wastes would take a long time to produce industrial gelatin with traditional gelatin, and the gelatin was of low value. The new technology is to obtain high-quality gelatin by hydrolysis and to produce capsules. During the tanning process, the use of 1 metric tons of animal skins will probably leave 50 kilograms of trimming waste, and then about 10 kg of gelatin can be produced. This new technology is not only an alternative technology for producing gelatin, but also can solve the problem of waste disposal from tanning leather. At present, the Institute is applying for patent for this technology.

　　 To curry leather P Saravanan, chief technology scientist at the technology industry, said that India needs about 700 thousand tons of leather every year and more than 10% of its raw materials will become solid waste. Tanneries are very difficult to deal with these wastes. Now the Institute has solved this problem for them, turning them into treasure.

He also said that if the new technology is used properly, it will also reduce the import of high quality gelatin. For India, the market potential of high quality gelatin is huge, especially for the pharmaceutical industry. Since there are not many enterprises producing high quality gelatin in India, they import $5 million gelatin every month.

　　 Zhejiang Ruian leather industry regulation through Wenzhou inspection and acceptance

In December 2nd, the Wenzhou City Environmental Protection Bureau, the letter Committee, the safety supervision bureau 3 units of the Wenzhou Paper leather industry regulation acceptance group, to Ruian city to carry out verification and acceptance. Feng Jinkao, member of the Standing Committee of the Ruian Municipal Committee and vice mayor, accompanied by the head of the relevant unit.

According to the renovation plan, 4 enterprises in 9 paper-making enterprises in Ruian were upgraded in situ, 5 were eliminated and shut down, 9 tanneries were upgraded to 2 and 7 were eliminated. In order to push forward the rectification work, Ruian has set up a leading group for rectification and upgrading of heavy pollution and high energy consuming industries, and strictly followed the "rectification and elimination of a batch, and standardizing and upgrading a number of" rectification ideas.

The acceptance team has checked 3 enterprises of Zhejiang Shimao Leather Co., Ltd., Wenzhou Zhi Fu leather Co., Ltd. and Ruian jade paper mill, and held an acceptance meeting in the municipal government conference room.

At the meeting, the inspection team heard Ruian paper making. To curry leather The work report and technical report of the industry affirmed the results achieved since the renovation of Ruian City, and put forward suggestions and suggestions.
