Biocodicology - A Deeper Dive

[MichelleL11]

I think the same applies to the production of parchment:

From a chemical point of view, the production of leather involves a specific modification of the collagen fiber skeleton, in particular the dermis or corium, by means of substances introduced that change the structure of the raw material and lead to the stabilization of the cross-links of the collagen.

Does this manufacturing process influence the extraction of usable material ?

Absolutely!  This will be a central topic of the first reference I review -- tentatively promised sometime this weekend.
