Silk Degumming and Utilization of Silk Sericin by Hydrolysis Using Alkaline Protease from Beauveria Sp. (MTCC 5184): A Green Approach

Conventionally, degumming is carried out at 90°C--110°C temperature by boiling the raw silk with Marseilles soap and sodium bicarbonate which eventually requires a lot of water and energy. In this study, degumming of Chinese bivoltine raw silk fibres with alkaline protease produced by Beauveria sp....
