Obtención de Cuero Floter con Diferentes Niveles de Neutralización de Calzado Casual

Abstract

In the laboratory Fur Tannery in Animal Science Faculty at ESPOCH, was assessed different levels of neutralizing to the floter leather production with three treatments in two consecutive trials and with 6 replicates per treatment, modeled under a completely randomized design in accordance bifactorial. The results show that the use of 3% of a neutralizing (T3), rises the physical resistance goat leather specifically elongation percentage (53,44%) and lastometría (11,63 mm) that is a skin be molded to take the article shape and it doesn’t break easily. Sensory evaluation of soft (4,67points), filling (4,75 points) and floter effect (4,75 points) identify the high score with the application of 3% neutralizing. The effect of trials for physical characteristics such as body sensory ratings goats don’t recorded statistical differences, allowing the repeatability of these characteristics in different batches of leather. The higher profitability of the research was achieved with the application of 3% neutralizing (T3), that the benefit cost report a nominal value of 1.45, it means that for each invested dollar we expect a profit of 45 cents. As recommendation we should neutralize the goatskins with 3% of neutralizing which are used for making casual footwear in order to get soft leathers with a good texture and a floter in a well effect.
