Abstract
Abstract A shampoo is prepared by incorporating into a shampoo base a whole protein composition obtained by solubilization of a keratin protein material particularly chicken feathers, and an alkanolamine, such as triethanolamine, or with N,Ndimethylformamide, and a surfactant.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
13 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the avian feathers are poultry feathers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
13 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the avian feathers are chicken feathers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
66 words
An aqueous shampoo composition consisting essentially of a whole undergraded protein component of avian feathers sufficient to impart manageability to hair, said protein component being soluble in a member selected from the group consisting of an ethanolamine and N,N-dimethylformamide, a detergent surfactant selected from the group consisting of a cation-active surfactant, a anion-active surfactant and a nonionic surfactant to provide sudsing or lathering properties, and water.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
The composition of claim 4, in which the avian feathers are poultry feathers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
The composition of claim 4 in which the avian feathers are chicken feathers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
11 words
The composition of claim 4 in which the ethanolamine is triethanolamine.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
13 words
The composition of claim 4 in which the surfactant is triethanolamine lauryl sulfate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
128 words
Method for the preparation of a shampoo concentrate comprising the steps of treating avian feathers with a solubilizing agent selected from the group consisting of an ethanolamine and N,N-dimethylformamide at boiling temperature for a period of time sufficient to solubilize and extract a whole undegraded protein component therefrom, the proportion of extractant to feathers ranging generally between 15 and 30 parts DMF per part feathers by weight and between about 150 and 300 parts by weight of feathers per 1000 parts ethanolamine by volume, separating the protein-containing solution from the insoluble residue, and adding an effective amount of a surfactant to tHe solution which surfactant is selected from the group consisting of a cation-active surfactant, an anion-active surfactant and a nonionic surfactant to provide sudsing or lathering properties.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 9 in which the solubilizing agent is an ethanolamine and the surfactant is lauryl hydrogen sulfate.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
11 words
The method of claim 10 in which the ethanolamine is triethanolamine.
