[0001] The invention relates to an extract of silkworm cocoon sericin layer, in particular to an alcohol soluble product of silkworm cocoon sericin layer and a preparation method thereof. Background technique
[0002] Silk is mainly composed of silk fibers accounting for 70% of the total amount and 30% of the sericin layer covering the silk fibers. In the sericin layer: sericin protein accounts for about 25% of the total cocoon layer, and the remaining 5% is non-sericin components, such as carbohydrates, waxes and pigments. Silk fiber and sericin are secreted by the rear and middle silk gland cells of the silkworm respectively, while the non-sericin component comes from mulberry leaves, which are eaten by silkworms. It is digested and absorbed by the midgut, enters the blood, and finally reaches the silk glands to mix with sericin. When silkworms spin cocoons, this gelatinous mixture is coated on the outside of silk fibers to protect and glue the fibers, ma...
