Study on Structure and Anti-UV Properties of Sericin Cocoons
AUTEX Research Journal, 2023 Through biogenetic engineering, the posterior silk glands of Bombyx mori larvae are degenerated, and only the middle silk glands are retained to secrete sericin to produce sericin fibers, so as to obtain sericin cocoons with high sericin content (>98.5%).
