Abstract: To study and analyze the extraction of keratin from egg-shell membrane. On the base of the single factor experiments and the Box-Benhnken design, the desired conditions of extraction of keratin are concluded. They are 64℃ of the temperature, 4.6% of the enzyme dosage, 2.2 hours of the total reaction time, 9.3of pH. Our present results showing that the yield of keratin was 38.0% and the content of keratin was 76.87% under the above-mentioned conditions.

Key words: egg-shell membrane, enzymatic hydrolysis, extracting conditions, response surface method(RSM)
