To examine the form of harnesses from the Shang and Western Zhou dynasties (16th–8th century B.C.) in China, this study analyzed the black-brown granular and thin-striped organic residues found on the bronze 韅 (Xian, a leather belt around a horse’s abdomen) ornaments unearthed from the Shangmiao Cemetery of Xitou Site in Xunyi (Shaanxi, China). The residues were investigated by microscope, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy (Raman), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF-MS). The results revealed that the microstructure of the residues closely resembled leather relics, and infrared analysis indicated that the residues contained proteins, confirming their identification as leather. Further analysis by ZooMS (Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry) confirmed the leather to be Bovini (Bos) hide. This suggests that the use of Bovini hide as a material for making Xian was well established during the Shang and Zhou periods. The leather likely served to connect the various parts of the harness and fasten it to the horse for use. This study marks the first research of Xian from these periods in China. The residues have survived attributed to the bactericidal effect of copper ions on the surface of the bronze Xian ornaments and the potential mineralization of the leather. Additionally, peculiar curly green bundles found within the residues are hypothesized to be related to the formation of copper soap or curly malachite.
... However, the DNA degraded during the leather-making process can cause misinterpretations, and the collagen analysis is economically inefficient due to the highly expensive and bulky setup.

In the leather industry, the mammalian skins of buffalo, cow, goat, and sheep are the permissible materials for leather-making. They serve the trade of quality leather products; hence, the knowledge of animal species in leather is inevitable. The traditional identification techniques are prone to ambiguous predictions due to insufficient reference studies. Indeed, leather image analysis with big data can pave the way for automatic and objective analysis with accurate prediction. This study focuses on creating novel and unique leather image data, LeaData. The objective is to automatically determine species from grain surface analysis. Hence, it employs a simple, cheaper, handheld digital microscope for leather image acquisition. The magnifying parameter 47 captures the species-unique grain patterns distributed over the leather surface. In total, the LeaData encloses 38,172 images of four species from 137 leather samples. This big data spans leather images with theoretically ideal and practically non-ideal grain patterns. It also includes images of grain patterns varying over different body parts. Thus, the novel LeaData is an adequately larger pool of leather images with diverse behavior. The motive is to establish a smart leather species identification technique that can be easily accessible by leather specialists, customs officials, and leather product manufacturers. Hence, this paper solely creates the bigger LeaData and presents its different versions to the digital image processing and computer vision research community. This digitized source of permissible leather species helps enable digitization in leather technology for species identification. In turn, in maintaining biodiversity preservation and consumer protection.

Shadow puppet artifacts are a special type of cultural heritage made from animal skin, possessing significant cultural and artistic value. However, there is insufficient attention to the scientific preservation of these artifacts, and systematic research on their protection is lacking. In particular, light as an important factor and related conservation studies are weak. This study investigates the photoinduced deterioration of shadow puppet artifacts from the National Shadow Pupperty Museum in Chengdu collection. Based on the xenon arc lamp are a common method of light aging, the modern rawhide samples were aged by the xenon arc lamp to simulate photoinduced deterioration. After artificial light aging, the samples were stored in a stable environment (with temperature maintained at 22 ± 2 °C and relative humidity maintained at 50 ± 5%RH) for 150 days. It attempts to avoid further deterioration of the samples due to drastic cyclic changes in the environment. And continuously observe changes in characteristics during this process to verify the potential reversibility of photoinduced deterioration. Comprehensive assessments were conducted to gauge the extent of deterioration. In order to assess the deterioration, a series of analytical techniques were used. Moisture gain or loss was inferred from mass changes, and colorimetric measurements were measured using the CIELAB formula. Macroscopic and microscopic morphological damage was documented through camera, stereo microscope, and scanning electron microscope observations. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) assessed amide bond degradation and moisture loss, while thermogravimetry/differential thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) evaluated collagen denaturation and thermal stability. The results indicated that prolonged light exposure caused significant deterioration, including color fading, moisture evaporation, and structural damage such as shrinkage and cracking. The findings indicate that light exposure is a crucial factor in the preservation of shadow puppet artifacts. Therefore, it is essential to implement careful management strategies in museum environments to ensure the protection of these artifacts.

The increasing concerns about solid waste disposal have led to the development of innovative strategies for repurposing waste materials. This paper describes a simple solution casting process for recycling postconsumed footwear leather fiber (PCF) into a biocomposite film reinforced with graphene oxide (GO) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). PVP was utilized as a compatibilizer to strengthen the interfacial bonding of GO and leather fiber via π–π interactions. UV–visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy were used to examine the material dispersibility bonding between GO and PCF, structural properties, thermal properties, and surface morphology of the biocomposite films, respectively. Compared to pure PCF film, the oxygen transmission rate of the prepared biocomposite films is elevated by 64% as well as the biodegradability rate is intensified up to 60%. In addition, the film’s tensile strengths are raised by 216%, while their elongation at break is increased by 164.64% as compared with PCF. The versatility of these eco-friendly and biodegradable composite films extends to its possible applications in packaging and interior design. The outcomes of the research reveal the viability of manufacturing affordable and sustainable biocomposites through the utilization of waste leather from consumed footwear.

The halal certification of products holds significant importance for Muslim consumers, necessitating the development of reliable techniques for identifying leather products made from raw materials. This study employed rapid and accurate analytical methods to distinguish between cowhide, pigskin, and artificial leather. A combination of scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to assess the variations in collagen fiber structures and thermal stability among the leather samples. The findings revealed that morphological surface analysis, including grain patterns and pores, facilitated swift differentiation between different leather types. Pigskins exhibit three-hole patterns on their morphological surface compared to cowhide, with random pores and tighter grain patterns, whereas artificial leather lacks natural grain patterns and pores altogether. While FTIR spectra exhibited similarities between cowhide and pigskin leathers, variations in vibration intensity enabled effective discrimination. Artificial leather, particularly PVC-based materials, displayed distinct spectra, allowing FTIR spectroscopy to effectively discern between halal and non-halal leather. Cowhide possesses strong and sharp vibration at wavenumber 1736, 1277, and 817 cm-1 compared to pigskin, which has stronger vibration at 1534 cm-1. Meanwhile, PVC-based artificial leather exhibited stretching at 1723 and 744 cm-1 wavenumbers. DSC analysis proved valuable in differentiating between genuine and artificial leather based on unique peaks and thermal behavior. These three techniques provide reliable means to determine the raw material origins of leather products.

The analysis of skin type determination by matching the morphology and spectral character of FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) is a fast and accurate. An analytical data base for matching morphology and spectral characters should be provided. This article describes the results of the morphological analysis of cow, goat and rabbit skins, as well as their spectral characters analyzed by FTIR. The cow skin looks bumpy. hair comes out of the follicle hole, only one hair comes out of one follicle hole. The cow skin has a dense structure, the connective tissue under the epidermis is arranged in a unidirectional manner. The surface of the cow hair looks scaly and has a medulla. Rabbit skin surface looks wavy and grained, the hair follicles were arranged in groups, there are several follicles arranged in one group, consisting of one or more follicles that secrete one large hair surrounded by several follicles that secrete smaller hair. The rabbit skin dermis is less dense and more irregular structure than the cow’s dermis tissue. The surface of rabbit hair has a coronal pattern, the hair has not a round shaped medulla form. Goat skin surface looks keratinized, hair comes out of the follicle hole, only one hair comes out from one follicle hole, the size of hair is not uniform. The goat skin has a dense structure like cow skin structure, the connective tissue under the epidermis is arranged in a unidirectional manner. The cuticle surface of the goat hair looks scaly, and has a medulla in the center. The pattern of cuticle is wave, the distance between the wave pattern is closer than the wave pattern of cow’s hair cuticle. The results of FTIR analysis indicated that, analyzed animal skins contained collagen, the level of similarity in the peak pattern of FTIR absorption between cow skin and rabbit skin was higher when compared to the level of similarity between the peak patterns of the spectrum of cowhide and goat skin, or between rabbit and goat skin. The peak of collagen characteristics, peaks around 1035 cm⁻¹ and 1079 cm⁻¹ can be found in the spectrum of cow, goat and rabbit skin powder. The peak absorption which was always found in each spectrum of cow, goat and rabbit skin powder was 1234 cm⁻¹ and 1454 cm⁻¹.

However, these measurements depend on subtle spectral differences between test samples, which are prone to interferences from leather surface coatings. ...
Increasing accounts of fraud and persistent labeling problems have brought the authenticity of leather products into question. In this study, we developed an extremely simplified workflow for real-time, in situ, and unambiguous authentication of leather samples using rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (REIMS) coupled with an electric soldering iron. Initially, authentic leather samples from cattle, sheep, pig, deer, ostrich, crocodile, and snake were used to create a chemometric model based on principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis algorithms. The validated multivariate statistical model was then used to analyze and generate live classifications of commercial leather samples. In addition to REIMS analysis, the microstructures of leathers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy to provide complimentary information. The current study is expected to provide a high-throughput tool with superior efficiency and accuracy for authenticating the identity of leathers and other consumer products of biogenic origin.
