|
In this study, silk-gland powder of silkworm was investigated for the usefulness as a potential agent for functional cosmetics, total content of amino acids and DPPH free radical scavenging assay, and clinical trial were done. The analysis of the amino acids of silk-gland powder showed that serine (26.77 %) content was the highest and aspartic acid, glycine, and glutamic acid followed that. DPPH free radical scavenging activity of silk-gland powder was lower than vitamin C (82.3 % v.s. 97 %), The moisture and elasticity were increased in silk-gland powder compared to control cosmetics by 257.2 % and 181.15 %, relatively. These results suggest that silk-gland powder of silkworm may have beneficial properties as a material for cosmeceuticals.
