Extraction of Keratin From Chicken Feather As One
Extraction of Keratin From Chicken Feather As One
This product are consists of chicken feathers and some chemicals. This
product is only made for our hairs. This aims to lessen the problem in
our hairs like hair loss and dandruff.This will be done if those people
who are using chickens will help us and they will give us some of the
waste product like chicken feathers.
This product is not limited to anybody who has a problem in hair loss

Chicken feather- feathers that comes from the chicken that are a good
source of keratin.

protein that protects epithelial cells from damage or stress.
Shampoo - a hair care product, typically in the form of a viscous liquid
that is used for cleaning hair.
REVIEW OF
RELATED LITERATURE
Many people or group of Scientists prove our idea to use
chicken feathers to be the main component for making shampoo
aside from some chemicals that we are going to use. According to
them: There research was conducted to extract keratin protein from
chicken feathers. Protein is an important nutrient needed by our body
to maintain body structures and is an important ingredient for
cosmetic products. Chicken feathers have high level of keratin protein
content and can become a suitable protein source that are needed by
our body and to our hairs.
METHODOLOGY
COLLECTING OF CHICKEN FEATHER
To start the experiment, First we must get some chicken feather
about 30-50 feathers. And for the best result we must get or collect
fresh and clean feathers in order to prevent other micro-organism
substances to extracted in extraction process and if it is wet let it be
dry first before extracting it
PROCEDURE
The extraction process will be through Steam Distillation Technique
so that we can get the keratin. It requires a stainless pot with an
integral strainer, a curve pot cover, and a stainless or steel glass
receiving vessel. The consumable are water, ice, and feathers to be
extracted.
First set the pot on the heat source and fill with purified water to level
just below the strainer bottom when it is in place. A strainer will be
inserted and fill it with chicken feathers. Clear the space in the center of
the to set the receiving vessel. Position the pot cover on the top in
vertically. Make sure that the drip tip is centered over the receiving
vessel. Fill the pot cover as much ice as it hold. It is not necessary to
add water to the pot cover. Boil it up to 15-30 minutes. Get the extract
of chicken feather in the receiving vessel
