Our previous research demonstrated the health benefits of sericin-derived oligopeptides (SDOs) from yellow silk cocoons, particularly their hypoglycemic and antihypertensive properties. This study aims to produce SDOs at a pilot scale, preparing them...

Sericin, a byproduct of the silk industry, is an underutilized protein derived from the yellow silk cocoon. This research aimed to produce and characterize the bioactive peptides from sericin using various enzymatic hydrolysis methods. Alcalase, papa...

Because available depigmenting agents exhibit short efficacy and serious side effects, sericin, a waste protein from the silk industry, was hydrolyzed using Alcalase® to evaluate its anti-melanogenic activity in human melanin-producing cells. Ser...

Sericin could be degraded well into low-molecular-weight sericin (SS) through a novel and environmentally friendly recycling process using an ultrasonically degumming method in Ca(OH)2 aqueous solution. The oral administration of the SS has an eviden...

Sericulture generates different natural products with potential medical applications. Silk peptides, worms, or even pupae are commonly employed in traditional Asian medicine with a wide variety of purposes, and some scientific work has been focused o...
