Abstract
The article presents the results of studies of the whey-salt method of preserving sheepskin raw materials. The peculiarity of this method is that the use of table salt in the preservative composition is reduced due to the use of whey; the duration of the skin processing process is reduced by 1.5-2.0 times compared to the traditional method, the canning process is reduced from 8 to 4 hours, the drying process is reduced from 72 to 48-50 hours. The use of this method of processing sheepskins makes it possible to reduce the cost of the canning process, reduce the pollution of wastewater from enterprises, and improve the quality of hides.
