Abstract
In a recent paper, Milczarek et al. [1] describe the observation of a "toughening" transition in keratin by DSC. On the basis of their results it is shown that the hypothesis of the existence of this transition is based on the misinterpretation of the evaporation peak of residual water, still present in keratin fibers after mild drying procedures. © 1993 Steinkopff-Verlag.
