Silk sericin and its applications: A review
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 acids, including essential amino acids. There are different methods of isolation of sericin from silk thread. Solubility, molecular weight, and gelling properties of sericin depend on the method of isola...
متن کاملSilkworm Sericin: Properties and Biomedical Applications
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 reuse of sericin usually discarded by the textile industry not only minimizes environmental issues but also has a high scientific and commercial value. The physicochemical properties of the molecule are responsible for ...
متن کاملBiopolymer Modifications for Biomedical Applications
Chitosan is typically obtained by deacetylation of chitin under alkaline conditions, which is one of the most abundant organic materials, being second only to cellulose in the amount produced annually by biosynthesis. Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide, composed of glucosamine and Nacetyl glucosamine units linked by (1–4) glycoside bonds. The content of glucosamine is called the degree of deac...
متن کاملBiopolymer-based Lightweight Materials for Packaging Applications
This chapter offers an overview of the biopolymer-based lightweight materials with respect to their potential for packaging applications. The biopolymer-based materials have garnered increasing attention to packaging market due to the concerns from both environmental and economical perspectives of traditional petroleum based polymers in recent years. The largely use of these traditional synthet...
متن کاملExtraction of Hemicellulose and Lignin from Sugarcane Bagasse for Biopolymer Films: Green Process
A hemicellulose is any of several heteropolymers , such as arabinoxylans, present along with cellulose in almost all plant cell walls. Hemicellulose has a random, amorphous structure with little strength. It is easily hydrolyzed by dilute acid or base as well as myriad hemicellulase enzymes. In this study, lignin and hemicellulose was extracted from sugarcane bagasse using the ammonium hydrolys...
