Abstract
Wool bleaching with sodium bisulphite in the presence of sodium lauryl sulphate has been shown to improve wool whiteness by four Berger unit s. A 25% decrease in cysteine content is also obtained as a consequenc e of the protective action of the surfactant on the keratin's disulphi de linkage.
