Disclosed herein are synthetic leathers, artificial epidermal layers, artificial dermal layers, layered structures, products produced therefrom and methods of producing the same.

Disclosed are a leather odor removal composition, a method of manufacturing leather with reduced odor using the same, and leather manufactured through the method. The method of reducing leather odor may include using a composition including a filler and a softening mixture.

The present invention describes the agricultural and/or forestry use of a mixture comprising: glycerol 5-90%, and glycerides of one or more organic acids 10-95% where the % are by weight with respect to the total mixture; wherein said mixture is used as a phytostimulating agent to promote the germination of seeds and/or as a fungicide/pesticide to protect seeds and/or crops against pathogenic microorganisms.

A method of treating leather or hide is provided whereby a biocide and one or more detectable tags are applied to a piece of leather or hide. The detectable tag(s) can be detected to indicate one or more pieces of information, such as that the biocide has been applied to the piece of leather or hide and/or other information. Information about the biocide and the tannery that applied the biocide or other information can be discerned from detecting the detectable tag or from one or more of the detectable tags if used. A system for tagging leather or hide and applying a biocide are also provided as are methods and systems for detecting the tags.
