Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an integrated process for dehairing and fibre opening during leather making. The developed process uses  significantly reduced amount of water and chemicals, optionally in the presence of enzymes. The process has enormous application in  leather processing industry as an environment friendly option with a potential of reduction of generation of effluent to the extent of  50-75%. Further, the process also ensures significant time economy, thereby enhancing the productivity without sacrificing the final  quality of leather.
