An analysis of the wool characteristics that determine wool price for Merino wool in South Africa
Scientific AfricanGlobally, wool characteristics determine wool price. As a result, wool that does not match the standards for fibre diameter, clean yield and staple length at auctions are sold at cheaper prices. At global level, very few studies in the literature of wool

An improved method for solubilisation of wool keratin using peracetic acid
Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering, 2017 Keratin in wool is a potentially important natural source of protein with many applications. However, solubilisation of keratin from wool is challenging. The yield of solubilised keratin was investigated using peracetic acid (PA) treatment of wool.
