An enzymatic method for harvesting functional melanosomes after keratin extraction – maximizing resource recovery from human hair
Hair contains about 80% keratins and 1–3% melanin packaged in melanosomes. Both of these are high-value and functional raw materials that have potential applications in wide-ranging fields. While keratin extraction has been widely refined, efficient methods of melanosome extraction are limited. The...
