Using denaturing solutions containing urea, thiourea, reducing agents such as dithiothreitol and beta-mercaptoethanol, detergents such as sodium dodecyl sulfate, and salts.
Acid or alkaline solubilization followed by isoelectric precipitation method.
Surimi processing which is based on washing the minced meat to remove the water-soluble proteins, enzymes, blood, and minerals that lead to higher concentration of myofibrillar proteins. In order to increase the protein stability, the product is mixed with a cryoprotectant.

Chemical methods (oxidation, reduction, and hydrolysis), microbial and enzymatic treatment, supercritical water and steam explosion, and microwave irradiation are the main extraction methods for keratin.
During the oxidizing method the disulfide bonds oxidize into sulfonic acid using an oxidizing agent. Therefore, a hydrophilic keratin is produced that dissolves the hair.
In reducing method micelles in surfactants are used to protect the keratin and avoid oxidation and precipitation during the process. This method leads into keratin with a higher Mw and dissolubility.
In hydrolysis method a strong base (sodium hydroxide) is used to break down the disulfide bonds between molecules and decompose the peptide chain which leads to polypeptides with low Mw.

Preliminary washing, cleaning, and separation of the animal parts, size reduction by mincing or cutting samples.
Mild chemical pre-treatment to increase the efficiency of the extraction and eliminate non-collagenous materials
Alkali or acid treatment to break down the cross-linked collagen before the extraction as collagen exist in cross-linked form in the connective tissue of animals.
