sericin (protein, organic material, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Gelatinous protein that cements silk fibers together in the cocoon. Sericin is secreted along with fibroin by the insect. It is usually removed, by boiling the raw silk in soap and water, during fabric manufacture. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Gelatineuze proteïne die zijdevezels aan elkaar hecht in de cocon. Sericine wordt samen met fibroïne door het insect uitgescheiden. De stof wordt bij de productie van textiel gewoonlijk verwijderd door de ruwe zijde in zeep en water te koken. |
