Histological Structure of Sichuan Rabbit Fur and Skin in Different Procedures

    TLDR Processing changes Sichuan rabbit skin structure by altering collagen fiber arrangement and porosity.
    The study examined the histological structure of Sichuan rabbit skin through various processing stages, including soaking, dehairing, and tanning. It found that rabbit fur had a unique structure, with long, pliable hairs growing in clusters from single follicles and fine collagen fibers aligned parallel to the surface. Elastic fibers were more abundant near the surface, while muscles, sebaceous glands, and adipose cells were sparse. Processing affected the skin's structure: dehairing removed fur and opened collagen fibers, increasing porosity, while oil tanning and polymetallic retanning tightened the collagen fibers and reduced porosity.
