METHODS FOR SEPARATING SERICIN FROM COCOON PROCESSING FACTORIES WASTEWATER
Keywords:
sericin, fibroin, cocoon industry, wastewater, protein, ecology, extraction.Abstract
This article discusses the issues of extracting sericin protein produced in the cocoon processing industry. The physicochemical properties of sericin and the functions of its constituent amino acids have been studied. Various technologies used in extracting sericin, their advantages and disadvantages, their ecological impact on the environment, and the significance of the extracted product in biomedical applications are reviewed.
