Silk is a natural protein fiber that consists of fibroin and is produced by larvae of insects to form cocoons. Fibroin is an excellent absorbing and water-binding protein that is biocompatible and non-toxic. Insects such as web spinners and raspy crickets produce silk throughout their lives. The most commonly used type of silk comes from mulberry silkworms. Silk protein is extracted from ground silk fiber Bombyx mori, raw silk, and other natural resources. The process of silk production is known as sericulture. Silk protein consists of active components such as amino acids and oligopeptides, which are extracted during hydrolysis of silk proteins. The important feature of silk protein is that the tripeptides and dipeptides can easily enter into blood steam through the dermis layer of skin.
Silk protein is often used in cosmetic products, hair care, body care, and skin care. Silk protein is used in beauty products as it is a vital ingredient for reducing wrinkles, anti-aging, hydrating the scalp, and rejuvenating skin. Silk protein effectively inhibits the formation of tyrosinase, which helps in keeping the skin white and delicate. Silk protein contains excellent anti-inflammatory and repair effects that help reduce inflammation, heal the skin damage and improve facial paralysis. It is also helpful in increasing cell metabolism and promoting blood circulation. In the pharmaceutical industry, silk protein is used for creating surgical sutures. Silk protein contains high flexible band tensile strength, which is used to create plasters and bandages.
The global silk protein market is driven by natural cosmetics and personal care products such as shampoo, lotions, skin moisturizers, hair oil, and others. Moreover, it is also used as dietary supplements in developing countries. Further, silk protein demand in the medical industry is on the rise owing to its antioxidant and anticoagulant properties, which help in making tissue engineering, bandages and plasters.
