Sericin were isolated and characterized from tasar cocoons raised in three different food plants i.e. Terminalia arjuna, T. tomentosa and Shorea robusta for its applications. Their molecular composition, structure and physical nature were determined by elemental analysis, amino acid analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analysis. These results show that tasar food plants influence the physical and chemical properties of sericin. Further, sericin isolated from cocoons of S. robusta food plant shows better antioxidant potential and inhibition of tyrosinase, elastase and glutathione-S-transferase activity than other food plants. This may be attributed to its amino acid variations and associated phenolic content. The present study appears to be useful in utilizing tasar sericin as a potential bio-molecule for its prospective utilization in pharmaceuticals and its associated fields.

从热带 tasar 家蚕 Antheraea mylitta 的茧中分离的丝胶的生化特征,在三种不同的寄主植物上对其进行前瞻性利用
丝胶中分离,并从三个不同的食品厂即提出tasar茧表征阿江榄仁树,T毛白杨和娑罗树为它的应用程序。它们的分子组成、结构和物理性质通过元素分析、氨基酸分析、傅里叶变换红外光谱 (FTIR) 和差示扫描量热法 (DSC) 分析确定。这些结果表明,tasar 食用植物会影响丝胶的物理和化学特性。另外,从丝胶的茧分离S.罗布斯塔食用植物比其他食用植物显示出更好的抗氧化潜力和酪氨酸酶、弹性蛋白酶和谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶活性的抑制作用。这可能归因于其氨基酸变异和相关的酚类含量。本研究似乎可用于将 tasar 丝胶用作潜在的生物分子,以用于其在药物及其相关领域的前瞻性应用。
