What is Free Radical Scavenging Potential of Sericin Obtained from Various Ecoraces of Tasar Cocoons and Its Cosmeceuticals Implication about?
Tropical tasar silkworm Antheraea mylitta is a wild sericigenous insect which is distributed in different geographical regions and named as different ecoraces. In the present study, we investigated the molecular characterisation and cosmeceutical properties of sericin extracted from different ecoraces of tasar cocoons. The surface morphology and molecular weight of cocoons were determined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and SDS-PAGE, respectively. Characterisation of sericin was performed by various methods such as FTIR, CHNS, TGA and amino acid analyzer. The anti-tyrosinase, anti-elastase, glutathione-S-transferase inhibition, free radical scavenging potential and inhibition of oxidative damages were measured in tasar ecoraces sericin. SEM images have revealed the removal of sericin from the surface of cocoons. SDS-PAGE of sericin depicted the presence of diverse molecular weight of proteins. Structural determination by FTIR revealed the presence of both α-helical and β-sheet structures. Thermal properties of sericin were studied by TGA which showed a 50% weight loss at temperature 410 °C–430 °C. Additionally, ecoraces sericin contains 17 amino acids in which serine, asparti
