Textile IndustryKeratinases have potential application in textile processing industries due to their ability to modify silk and wool. The treatment of wool and polyester-blended fabrics with crude keratinase obtained from a strain of Pseudomonas sp. improved their shrink resistance and tensile strength (Cai et al. 2011). Three hydrolytic enzymes, cutinase, keratinase, and protease were used synergistically to improve the wettability and anti-felting property of wool fabrics (Wang et al. 2011c) with resultant reduction of contact angle to 66°, area shrinkage of 5.2%, and acceptable strength loss of 14%. Keratinase and protease have been used to eliminate wool fibers, prevent shrinkage and increase the anti-felting property of wool (Liu et al. 2013b). Similarly, Zhang et al. (2016a) reported that the surface of the wool obtained after enzymatic dehairing of goat hide by crude keratinase of Acinetobacter sp. R-1 was modified which inturn improved the quality and the anti-felting properties of the wool. In a similar study, three cooperative keratinolytic enzymes purified from S. maltophilia BBE11- 1 have been reported to show remarkable removal of cuticle layers of wool without damaging internal fibers (Fang et al. 2013), with potential applications in textile and leather industries. In the processing of raw silk, degumming of fibrous proteins to improve the quality of fibers in terms of softness and luster can be achieved in an eco-friendly process by using keratinases instead of using soap, alkali, and oxidizing agents. Some proteases have been demonstrated for application in this sector (More et al. 2013). Most recently, Iglesias et al. (2017) treated wool top with keratinase
