had a much cleaner look with no shrinkage (original size)
retaining its original colour and sheen (Fig. 5B). The overall
performance of both chemical and enzyme based leathers are

3.5. Analysis of effluent after enzyme processed beam house
operation
A reduction of around 86% TDS load in the effluent from the
enzymatic processing of skins and hides against the conventional
process. BOD and COD load from the effluent of enzymatic processing
of goat skins were reduced by 75% and 80%, respectively
when compared to conventional processing. Similarly, reduction of
