The recovery andreuse of sericin usually discarded by the textile industry not only minimizes environmentalissues but also has a high scientific and commercial value. The physicochemical properties ofthe molecule are responsible for numerous applications in biomedicine and are influenced bytheextractionmethodandsilkwormlineage,whichcanleadtovariationsinmolecularweightand amino acid concentration of sericin. The presence of highly hydrophobic amino acids andtheir antioxidant potential make it possible for sericin to be applied in the food and cosmeticindustry.Themoisturizingpowerallowsindicationsasatherapeuticagentforwoundhealing,stimulatingcellproliferation,protectionagainstultravioletradiation,andformulatingcreamsandshampoos.Theantioxidantactivityassociatedwiththelowdigestibilityofsericinexpandsthe application in the medical field, such as antitumour, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatoryagent,andanticoagulant,actsincolonhealth,improvingconstipationandprotectingthebodyfromobesitythroughimprovedplasmalipidprofile.Inaddition,thepropertiesofsericinallowits application as a culture medium and cryopreservation, in tissue engineering and for drugdelivery, demonstrating its effective use, as an important biomaterial.
