Problems solved by technology

For example, using high concentrations of strong acid, strong alkali, and protease can dissolve silk fibers, but the strong corrosiveness of the solvent will significantly reduce the molecular weight of silk protein, and the mechanical properties of silk fibroin materials prepared by this method will be significantly reduced, and these are toxic and harmful. The solvent is against biological safety, corrodes production equipment, has potential danger to scientific research personnel, is harmful to the environment, etc.
In addition, high concentrations of LiBr, LiSCN and CaCl 2 Neutral saline solution can also dissolve silkworm silk, but it has the characteristics of complicated operation process, long dissolution cycle (dialysis time is more than 3 days), high cost, and environmental pollution.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing and dissolving silk fibroin powder, which comprises the steps of degumming, pre-alkali washing, high-temperature high-pressure treatment, purification, pre-concentration, drying, and ultrafine grinding. The method of the invention adopts a high-temperature high-pressure method combined with ultralow-concentration alkali liquor to dissolve fibroin fibers, can completely dissolve fibroin fibers, and breaks the precedent that a high-temperature high-pressure method cannot dissolve silk fibroin; when compared with other technology in the prior art, the method adopts alkali liquor with an ultralow concentration, does not destroy the internal structure of natural silk fibroin, is simple and high-efficient in process, has significantly decreased cost, is short in production period, high in biological safety, simple and convenient, does not generate other wastes, and causes no environment pollution.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing and dissolving silk protein powder, belonging to the field of natural polymers. technical background [0002] The silk cocoon shell is composed of silk fibroin and sericin. Silk fibroin accounts for 70% to 80% of the total silk protein and is a very important textile raw material. Wild silk protein (tussah silk and celestial silk, etc.) and spider silk are also natural fiber proteins. They all have excellent mechanical properties, good biocompatibility and stability, and are essentially proteins. They are widely used in cosmetics, biomaterials, natural polymers, food, health care products and other fields. For example, in the field of cosmetics, silk fibroin has been used as one of the main raw materials for preparing beauty products. Silk fibroin can be processed to obtain regenerated silk fibroin nanofibers, silk fibroin powder, silk fibroin film, silk porous material, etc. [0003] Natural silk pro...
