Sky Fruit Seed Crush (SFSC): A Potential Source of Less Salt Curing of Raw Goatskin
Author(s): Md. Abdur Razzaq*, M. Mahfujur Rahman and Md. Motinur Rahman
The curing of raw hides and skins using sodium chloride salt is a widely recognized technique, although
it has negative consequences for the environment by elevating water salinity and introducing a significant
amount of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). In order to tackle this issue, goat skin was conserved through
the utilization of a mixture consisting of crushed sky fruit seeds and sodium chloride salt. Various ratios
of mixtures were applied to raw goat skin to determine an optimal outcome. The most favorable result
was achieved by utilizing a blend of 10% seed crush and 10% salt, based on the weight of the raw
skin. A control specimen was run with the experimental specimen, and preservation-related variables
such as odor, hair loss, shrinkage temperature, moisture level, and bacterial population were evaluated.
After preservation, the experimental sample and .. View More»
