Abstract
The oxidation of fish oil is a type of chain reaction. The use of oxidizing agents enhances the rate of oxidation of the same. This study predominantly focuses on the role of potassium persulfate as an accelerating agent in fish oil oxidation, its kinetics, and application in rapid fish oil tanning. The use of potassium persulfate (1%) completes the fish oil oxidation within 4 days, confirmed by its kinetic studies. Chamois leathers made using potassium persulfate (1%) exhibited excellent water absorption capacity (454%). The physical parameters such as tensile strength, shrinkage temperature, surface morphology, and organoleptic properties of the experimental leather exhibit better results than control leathers.
