However, keratin is insoluble or hardly soluble in ordinary solvents. For this reason, in order to utilize keratin in a natural raw material, it is necessary to significantly reduce the molecular weight by decomposition, or to perform irreversible protection by reducing the disulfide bond of keratin or chemically treating the generated thiol group.
That is, a hydrolyzate produced by treating a natural product containing keratin with a concentrated acid or alkali; a reducing agent and a protein denaturing agent such as a high-concentration urea aqueous solution are used in combination to reductively cleave disulfide bonds of keratin to form thiol. Aqueous keratin solution; keratin derivative chemically modified with monoiodoacetic acid or sodium sulfite / sodium tetrathionate to prevent recombination of the thiol group of keratin; or keratin aqueous solution whose molecular weight has been shortened by reductive cleavage and proteolytic enzyme.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, keratin reconstituted from the protein obtained by the oxidation treatment requires a complicated chemical treatment, and the recovery yield is extremely low. Further, in the reduction treatment, it is necessary to use a large amount of various denaturing agents as solubilizing aids, and the operation becomes extremely complicated. For example, under neutral or alkaline conditions, keratin was dissolved in a solvent such as water or water-based methanol, ethanol, or amide in the presence of a reducing agent such as thiol and a protein denaturing agent such as urea. Thereafter, it is necessary to add a surfactant or add iodoacetic acid to a sulfhydryl group unstable to oxidation to carry out a carboxymethylation reaction. In addition, it is necessary to remove insoluble substances in the middle of the process and to remove denaturants such as urea by dialysis or the like. Such dialysis requires a large amount of water and requires a long operation time.

Therefore, the conventional method for extracting keratin from keratin-containing substances (1) requires a large amount of a protein denaturing agent such as urea, a solubilizing agent having a surfactant effect, and a reducing agent, and is uneconomical in dialysis operation. , Etc., the process is complicated and requires a long time treatment, which increases the product cost. Also (2)
Pollution countermeasures against large amounts of contaminated water generated in the extraction process are also required. Furthermore, (3) the use of keratin is limited because it is difficult to mix the keratin aqueous solution with the organic solvent-soluble substance.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Accordingly, the present inventors have conducted intensive studies on a method for extracting keratin from a keratin-containing natural product without using a protein denaturant. As a result, it was surprisingly found that keratin can be easily extracted without using any protein denaturing agent by treating a keratin-containing substance in a specific organic solvent in the presence of a reducing agent, and completed the present invention.

The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature and then filtered to remove insolubles, thereby obtaining a desired keratin organic solvent solution (about 20 ml) using a fluorinated alcohol containing a small amount of 2-mercaptoethanol as a solvent. 50 ml of the solution was placed in a cellophane dialysis tube, the external solution was dialyzed as pure containing 0.3% of 2-mercaptoethanol, and the contents of the tube were freeze-dried to obtain 0.13 g of keratin powder. Keratin concentration was estimated to be 2.6%. In addition, when the amino acid analysis of the said keratin powder was performed, two cysteines per 100 amino acid residues,
There were 6 cystine. When examined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, a protein having a molecular weight of 15,000 to 70,000 was the main component.

[Effect of the Invention] The production method of the present invention does not require the use of a protein denaturing agent as in the conventional method, and therefore does not require dialysis after the reduction treatment. Further, according to the present invention, an organic solvent solution containing keratin as high as 1 to 3% can be obtained. The keratin organic solvent liquid of the present invention contains keratin at a high concentration and therefore has a wide range of uses.
