STUDY ON FOODIZATION OF FIBROIN AND ITS FUNCTIONALITY

摘要

Fibroin consists of 18 kinds of amino acids.According to recent resarch onamino acid and peptide chain.it looks promising to exploit fibroin into an advlancedfuncrtional food. This paper conducted investigations into the effects of some amino scids andtheir oligo- peptides which fibroin consisted mainly of on inhibiting cho1esterol levelin blood,accelerating alcoholic metabolism,promoting secretion of insulion and con-trolling blood sugar value.And experimental results all showed various degrees of ef-ficacy. In addtion,the paper also 1ade an approach to the physical properties of dissolu-ble fibroin power whose preparation was necessary to foodization of silk.
