Low Salt Preservation of Australian and New Zealand Sheepskins

摘要

The current and long established methods for preserving skins in Australia and New Zealand are described. These methods use large amounts of sodium chloride plus combinations of up to three biocides which are not registered in the REACH regulations. This paper describes work carried out to develop a method of low salt preservation (LSP) with auxiliaries used widely in the food and beverage industries and this was achieved.
