Abstract
Present invention uses a mixture of feathers and water, and, depending on specific embodiments of the ratio between feathers and water, subject the mixture to a high-temperature and high-pressure treatment process for a fixed amount of time, resulting in a keratin solution containing at least 253 peptides, with their molecular masses between 500 and 4,000 Daltons, and the concentration is in the range of 2.0×105˜4.5×105 ppm. The solution can then be further diluted by water for application to different plants, at specific growth stages, following additional steps or processes of application to increase crops yield.
Claims8
A keratin hydrolysis peptide (KHP) solution comprising:
- water and
- feathers of 50% water content mixed into the water
- whereby the weight ratio of water and feathers mixture is set at 2:3 and is then treated by the steps of:
- a. stirring the feathers and water mixture in a sealed container;
- b. hydrolyzing the mixture in the container with a temperature and pressure setting of 195° C. and 16 kg/cm2 for a duration of 40 minutes;
- c. using a mass spectrometer to confirm the combination of peptides in the solution to contain at least 253 peptides as listed in the specification where their molecular masses are between 593.3 and 3,828.0 Daltons.
A keratin hydrolysis peptide (KHP) solution comprising:
- water, and
- feathers of 50% water content mixed into the water
- whereby the weight ratio of water and feathers mixture is set at 4:5 and is then treated by the steps of:
- a. stirring the feathers and water mixture in a sealed container;
- b. hydrolyzing the mixture in the container with a temperature and pressure setting of 185° C. and 12 kg/cm2 for a duration of 80 minutes;
- c. using a mass spectrometer to confirm the combination of peptides in the solution to contain at least 253 peptides as listed in the specification whereby their molecular masses are between 593.3 and 3,508.9 Dalton.
A keratin hydrolysis peptide (KHP) solution comprising:
- 70 kg of feathers, with the feathers' water content being 46%, and treated by the steps of:
