STUDYING THE PROCESS OF MELANIN ISOLATION AND PURIFICATION FROM WASTES OF PLANT AND ANIMAL ORIGIN
Keywords:
melanin, extraction, purification, IR spectroscopyAbstract
The possibilities of natural melanin isolation and purification from wastes of plant and animal origin have been studied. Optimal parameters of melanin extraction from wastes and its purification from related impurities are determined. Melanin identification has been performed by IR spectroscopy. The obtained melanin pigments have given positive reactions with all the tests used for identification of melanins.
