Sericin Extract Powder

Sericin is a protein found in silk. Silk consists of two types of proteins, silk fibroin and sericin. Both silk proteins provide benefits, and sericin is currently the most widely utilized. It has a combination of many unique
properties such as biodegradability, nontoxicity, oxidation resistance, antimicrobial activity, UV resistance, and absorbs moisture. Sericin contributes about 20-30% of total cocoon weight. It is characterized by its high content of serine and 18 amino acids, including essential amino acids.

The main characteristic of Sericin extract powder is its antioxidant function therefore it has been proposed a functional food. Sericin has a high content of bioactive peptides (PB) that are specific fragments of proteins. Their amino acid sequence is directly related to the beneficial effects on corporal functions, specifically on systems such as cardiovascular, nervous, gastrointestinal and immune. Sericin presents a potential in the development of biomedical, pharmaceutical and food products.

Mechanism of action for Sericin Extract Powder

Natural Powerful Antioxidants : Free radical theory of aging has given much impetus to the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radicals in the initiation and progression of the aging process. Increased levels of ROS can damage various cellular processes. The damage to cells caused by free radicals, especially the damage to DNA, may play a role in the development of cancer and other health conditions. The silk protein sericin from Silk cocoon can serve as a valuable antioxidant. Sericin can acting as antioxidant as well as by promoting endogenous antioxidant enzymes. Antioxidants are able to give an electron to a free radical without becoming destabilized themselves, thus stopping the free radical chain reaction. There’s no doubt that antioxidants can be good for you.

Boosts the skin’s vitality and luminosity : Sericin can suppress peroxidation of lipids and inhibit tyrosinase enzyme activity. This enzyme catalyzes the tyrosinase oxidation, which is the amino acid responsible for the skin melanin biosynthesis, and the enzymatic browning in foods.

Wound healing : Silk fiber extract is mainly composed of two proteins, fibroin and sericin. Sericin has good hydrophilic properties, it is also biocompatible and biodegradable, it actives the collagen production in wounds, and induces epithelialization. It is also reported that sericin promotes both attachment and proliferation of fibroblasts and keratinocytes in the human skin. These features allow its potential use as a wound healing agent.
