Silk sericin is a natural polymer produced by silkworm, Bombyx mori, which surrounds and
keeps together two fibroin filaments in silk thread used in the cocoon. The recovery and …

Silk consists of two types of proteins, silk fibroin and sericin. Sericin contributes about 20-30
per cent of total cocoon weight. It is characterized by its high content of serine and 18 amino …

Silk is a natural composite fiber composed mainly of hydrophobic fibroin and hydrophilic
sericin, produced by the silkworm Bombyx mori. In the textile industry, the cocoons of B. mori …

Silks are natural polymers that have been widely used for centuries. Silk consists of a
filament core protein, termed fibroin, and a glue-like coating substance formed of sericin …

Bombyx mori silk is composed of 60–80% fibroin, 15–35% sericin and 1–5% non-sericin
component including wax, pigments, sugars and other impurities. For two decades, the …

Silk is composed of two major proteins, fibroin (fibrous protein) and sericin (globular,
gumming protein). Fibroin has been used in textile manufacturing and for several …

Silks are naturally occurring polymers that have been used clinically as sutures for hundreds
of years. It's so for obtained from insects or worms, silk consists of a filament core protein …

There is growing concern about the use of plastic in packaging for food materials, as this
results in increased plastic waste materials in the environment. To counter this, alternative …

Silk sericin is a natural macromolecular protein derived from silkworm Bombyx mori. During
the various stages of producing raw silk and textile, sericin can be recovered for other uses …

Study compares the quality and quantity of sericin obtained from four sources, namely
mulberry silk cocoons, silk flats, reeling silk waste and woven silk fabric. Sericin has been …
