You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org Title: Animal Proteins Author: Hugh Garner Bennett Release Date: October 26, 2012 [EBook #41192] Language: English Character set encoding: ISO-8859-1 *** START OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK ANIMAL PROTEINS *** Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Joanna Johnston and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/Million Book Project) Transcriber's note: Minor typographical errors and inconsistencies have been corrected. Some words had inconsistent hyphenation throughout the book; these have been made consistent. Ions are shown as Fe+++, instead of using superscripts. There is some inconsistency in the notation used in the original text for chemical formulæ such as Na2Cr2O7(2H2O). These have been regularized to use the modern mid-dot, for example, Na2Cr2O7 · 2H2O. The index entry for Hemlock bark had no page number in the original text, so the correct page number, 34, has been supplied. On page 152 NaCO23 has been corrected to Na2CO3. On page 212, the variable n has been replaced with the correctly subscripted forms n1 and n2. [Pg i] [Pg ii] ANIMAL PROTEINS BY HUGH GARNER BENNETT, M.Sc. (LEEDS) MEMBER OF THE SOCIETY OF LEATHER TRADES' CHEMISTS; FORMERLY ASSISTANT LECTURER AND DEMONSTRATOR AT THE LEATHER INDUSTRIES DEPARTMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS AUTHOR OF "THE MANUFACTURE OF LEATHER" LONDON BAILLIÈRE, TINDALL AND COX 8 HENRIETTA STREET, COVENT GARDEN 1921 [Pg iii] [Pg iv] GENERAL PREFACE [Pg v] The rapid development of Applied Chemistry in recent years has brought about a revolution in all branches of technology. This growth has been accelerated during the war, and the British Empire has now an opportunity of increasing its industrial output by the application of this knowledge to the raw materials available in the different parts of the world. The subject in this series of handbooks will be treated from the chemical rather than the engineering standpoint. The industrial aspect will also be more prominent than that of the laboratory. Each volume will be complete in itself, and will give a general survey of the industry, showing how chemical principles have been applied and have affected manufacture. The influence of new inventions on the development of the industry will be shown, as also the effect of industrial requirements in stimulating invention. Historical notes will be a feature in dealing with the different branches of the subject, but they will be kept within moderate limits. Present tendencies and possible future developments will have attention, and some space will be devoted to a comparison of industrial methods and progress in the chief producing countries. There will be a general bibliography, and also a select bibliography to follow each section. Statistical information will only be introduced in so far as it serves to illustrate the line of argument. Each book will be divided into sections instead of chapters, and the sections will deal with separate branches of the subject in the manner of a special article or monograph. An attempt will, in fact, be made to get away from the orthodox textbook manner, not only to make the treatment original, but also to appeal to the very large class of readers already possessing good textbooks, of which there are [Pg vi] quite sufficient. The books should also be found useful by men of affairs having no special technical knowledge, but who may require from time to time to refer to technical matters in a book of moderate compass, with references to the large standard works for fuller details on special points if required. To the advanced student the books should be especially valuable. His mind is often crammed with the hard facts and details of his subject which crowd out the power of realizing the industry as a whole. These books are intended to remedy such a state of affairs. While recapitulating the essential basic facts, they will aim at presenting the reality of the living industry. It has long been a drawback of our technical education that the college graduate, on commencing his industrial career, is positively handicapped by his academic knowledge because of his lack of information on current industrial conditions. A book giving a comprehensive survey of the industry can be of very material assistance to the student as an adjunct to his ordinary textbooks, and this is one of the chief objects of the present series. Those actually engaged in the industry who have specialized in rather narrow limits will probably find these books more readable than the larger textbooks when they wish to refresh their memories in regard to branches of the subject with which they are not immediately concerned. The volume will also serve as a guide to the standard literature of the subject, and prove of value to the consultant, so that, having obtained a comprehensive view of the whole industry, he can go at once to the proper authorities for more elaborate information on special points, and thus save a couple of days spent in hunting through the libraries of scientific societies. As far as this country is concerned, it is believed that the general scheme of this series of handbooks is unique, and it is confidently hoped that it will supply mental munitions for the coming industrial [Pg vii] war. I have been fortunate in securing writers for the different volumes who are specially connected with the several departments of Industrial Chemistry, and trust that the whole series will contribute to the further development of applied chemistry throughout the Empire. SAMUEL RIDEAL. AUTHOR'S PREFACE [Pg ix] It has been the author's chief concern that this volume should fulfil its own part in the programme set forth in Dr. Rideal's General Preface. The leather, glue, and kindred trades have been for many years recognized as chemical industries, but the great development of colloid chemistry in the last few years has given these trades a more definite status as such, and they can now be placed in the category of applied physical chemistry. The time is probably not far distant when some knowledge of pure physical chemistry will be a first essential to students, chemists, chemical engineers, and to all engaged in these industries in supervision, administration, or control. It is hoped that this volume will stimulate the study of these industries from that standpoint. As the author has previously written upon one of the industries involved herein ("The Manufacture of Leather": Constable & Co.), he has, rather inevitably, found it difficult to avoid altogether his own phraseology. The changes of a decade, however, together with the wider field and newer view-point, have made possible a radical difference of treatment. The author desires to acknowledge the help he has received from the many books, essays, and researches which are mentioned in the references at the end of each section, especially to Procter's "Principles of Leather Manufacture," and also to thank Dr. Rideal for many useful suggestions. The author would like also to acknowledge here his indebtedness (as well as that of the trade generally) to the work of Dr. J. Gordon Parker, who, through his researches, lectures, and teaching work, has done more than any other man to disseminate a knowledge of practical methods of tanning. [Pg x] The author's thanks are also due to his brother, Mr. W. Gordon Bennett, M.Sc., A.I.C., M.C., for assistance in proof revision, and to his father, Rev. John Bennett, for some literary criticism. H. GARNER BENNETT. BEVERLY, June, 1921. CONTENTS [Pg xi] PAGE GENERAL PREFACE v AUTHOR'S PREFACE ix CONTENTS xi INTRODUCTION 1 PART I.

Supervisor‟s Name Signature Date Dr. J.O.B. Boahin ……………....….... ....……………… Head of Department‟s Name Signature Date i ABSTRACT Anecdotal evidence and further report from leather experts shows that there is close to no enlightenment of the production of leather vessels in Ghanaian leather industries. Therefore the study was conducted as a result of the need to add leather as a supplementary material to the traditional materials such as clay, metal, wood and half-gourd used for producing vessels in Ghana. The purpose of the study was to find out how Ghanaian indigenous leather could be used in the production of leather vessels. The qualitative study employed three key techniques, namely: “cuir bouilli” leather hardening methods, the sand pounding technique, and assemblage and construction technique.

  • An Historical Analysis of Leather
    THE ROLE OF A SINGLE ACTOR IN TECHNICAL INNOVATION AND NETWORK EVOLUTION: AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF THE LEATHER NETWORK Michael Redwood University of Bath CLAVERTON DOWN BATH BA2 7AY UK [email protected] corresponding author David Ford Affiliate Professor Euromed-Management, Marseille [email protected] Abstract Innovation is often seen as a vital element in the strategy of many companies seeking to differentiate themselves in a world of excess-capacity and wide customer choice. This single-company view of innovation seems to have been based on the assumption that it is possible for an individual company to “turn on” an innovation tap and change the direction of a business. But more recently, the interconnections between business actors, their activities and resources and the complexity of the innovation process have been emphasised. For example, Dosi (1988) discussed the effects on innovation of complex intersectional linkages and Lundgren (1995) and Håkansson and Waluszewski (2002) highlight how difficult it is to predict the outcomes of any attempt at innovation because of the limitations of actors‟ “network pictures” (Ford et al, 2003) in a business landscape characterised by interdependency, variety and motion (Hakansson et al 2009). 1 But despite the interdependencies between a single business company and its counterparts and the unpredictability and uncontrollability of the innovation process, individual companies still need to seek innovation and at least sometimes, they can play a decisive role in its achievement. This paper centres on the experience of a small UK company working mostly in the USA in the transformation of the network surrounding the production, distribution and use of leather1 in the late 19th century and which led to the introduction of a new chemistry which was to become the dominant process for the manufacture of all leather to this day.

  • The Delaware Leather Industry in the Mid-Nineteenth Century by Lucius F. Ellsworth Writers Have Noted That the Leather Industry
    The Delaware Leather Industry in the Mid-Nineteenth Century By Lucius F. Ellsworth Writers have noted that the leather industry stubbornly re­ sisted technological change longer than any other industry in the United States. The most recent author, Peter C. Welsh, in Technology and Culture commented, "To the historian, the tanner is an enigma. Kis trade flourished and leather was in great demand from the time of first settle­ ment until comparatively recent times. Nevertheless, tanning techniques remained nearly unchanged until late in the nineteenth century." The primitive methods to which Welsh and other writers refer consisted of a series of hand operations that transformed raw hide into finished leather. Washing to cleanse the impurities, raising to loosen the hair, beamimg to remove the fat, tanning to cure the hides, and finishing to prepare the leather for market were both tedious and inefficient. One cannot quibble with Welsh's statement that the leather in­ dustry clung to these old processes until 1850; however, the experience of the Delaware leather companies during the next twenty years indicates that the subsequent rate of mechanization and adoption of new techniques was indeed rapid. Historians of business and technology need to restudy the industry. According to surviving records and later scholarly studies, small hand-operated tanyards producing slightly more than $200,000 worth of goods a year dominated the Delaware leather industry until 18^0. -2- The next decade witnessed the beginning of the transformation of this home trade into a mechanized industry centered in northern Delaware, the industrial heart of the state. By 1870, twenty-three local firms with a capitalized value of $923,018 produced leather worth $2,031,883.

  • Vegetable Tannins Used in the Manufacture of Historic Leathers
    Review Vegetable Tannins Used in the Manufacture of Historic Leathers Lina Falcão 1,2 and Maria Eduarda M. Araújo 2,* 1 Artistic Studies Research Centre, Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Lisbon, Largo da Academia Nacional de Belas-Artes, 1249-058 Lisboa, Portugal; [email protected] 2 Centre of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon, Campo Grande, Edifício C-8, 1749-016 Lisboa, Portugal * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +351-217-500-968 Academic Editor: Hideyuki Ito, Tsutomu Hatano and Takashi Yoshida Received: 28 March 2018; Accepted: 1 May 2018; Published: 3 May 2018 Abstract: In this review, a brief description of how animal skins were transformed in leathers in Europe using different vegetable tannins will be presented. Special attention will be dedicated to the description of the type of tannins and the characteristics of the most important type of historic leathers thus obtained. The text will also focus on the description of the techniques used in the identification of these tannins in historic objects: colorimetric tests and spectroscopic analysis. Keywords: tannins; vegetable tanning; European historic leathers; colorimetric tests; spectroscopy; UV-Vis; FTIR 1. Introduction Natural tannins, stricto sensu, are polyphenolic compounds of vegetal origin with the property to precipitate proteins. It is assumed that the oldest application of this tannins chemical property in technology is the stabilization of animal skins protein against putrefaction [1]. According to some authors [2–5], it may have been by the end of Neolithic period and in the eastern Mediterranean region that man began to use, incipiently, plant materials, such as leaves, twigs, fruits, barks or roots, to prevent animal skins degradation, transforming them into a more durable and useful material.
