Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The effect of walnut shell extract ( Juglans regia) on chromium (VI) formation in leather during the finishing process is investigated in this study. The walnut shell extract composition was determined using gas chromatography. To enable chromium (VI) formation, finished leather samples were aged under various conditions, including exposure to ultraviolet light. The amount of chromium (VI) in each leather sample was measured using a Shimadzu UV-1601 PC UV-visible spectrophotometer at 540 nm based on the ISO/FDIS 17075 standard method. The results showed that the extracts from walnut shell ( Juglans regia) significantly reduced chromium (VI) formation in the leather under all aging conditions.
