Extracted
sericin from silk waste for film formation.
The boiling process has led to elimination of
sericin which is a major protein present in the silk fiber often resulting in cytotoxicity.
Silk fibroin was obtained from the cocoons of the silkworm Bombyx mori through the hydrolysis of
sericin. PVA with 99% degree of hydrolysis and DMU with a purity of at least 99% were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich.
Sodium carbonate was used to dissolve the
sericin protein.
The silk fibroin (SF) was obtained after degumming with 0.5% (w/v) [Na.sub.2]C[O.sub.3] and
sericin was excluded.
Raw silk cocoons were degummed twice with 0.1 M of sodium carbonate and 0.5% of standard reference detergent at 100[degrees]C for 30 min, rinsed with warm water to remove the
sericin from the surface of the fibre, and then dried at room temperature.
Italian company Santangelica launched an entirely new skin care range based on its
sericin complex, which is said to be suitable for all age groups.

Another example of glycoprotein has been
sericin, which was isolated from silk.[11] A new lip therapy ingredient, palmitoyl oligopeptide, recorded excellent results moisturizing and fullness subjective testing.[12]
