Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and they can be extracted from human and animal hair through a process called hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction that breaks down proteins into their constituent amino acids. In this work, the efficacy of hydrolysis to extract amino acids from human and animal hair was examined. 100 grams of hair samples were hydrolyzed for 4-6 hours at a temperature between 40 and 60 degrees using a 330ml of 6N hydrochloric acid solution. After hydrolysis, sodium hydroxide was used to raise the pH of the resultant solutions to 7. Several assays were used to confirm the presence of amino acids, and then high-performance liquid chromatography analysis was performed for analyzing the amino acid content in the mixture. According to research data, it has been found that human hair has a higher amino acid concentration than that of animals. The work validates the efficiency of hydrolysis for amino acid extraction and offers insightful information for potential future uses. Maximum amino acid content was obtained from both human and animal hair samples after a 6-hour hydrolysis process, demonstrating how human hair is superior in respect of amino acid content.
