Technological Desition of Extraction of Melanin from the Waste of Production of Sunflower-Seed Oil

Abstract

Abstract. The research was realized in the field of the technology for re-use of waste of sunflower-seed oil production. A technological scheme of production of melanin from sunflower husk as a waste was developed. Re-cycling will give the opportunity to reduce the amount of waste and to obtain an additional source of income.
