Further development of silk sericin as a biomaterial: comparative investigation of the procedures for its isolation from Bombyx mori silk cocoons

There is significant research dedicated to fibroin and sericin, the two major proteinaceous components of the silk threads produced by the domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori.
