BUGA-Hydrolyzed Silk Fibroin (Vegan Protein)
Product Info
BUGA-Hydrolyzed Silk Fibroin-Vegan Protein (BUGA-HydroSF) consists of short protein chains (Ser-Gly-Ala) with a molecular weight range of 500-5000 daltons as a result of enzymatic hydrolysis of silk. Being in hydrolysate form and its water solubility offers the advantage of being consumed as food in any food in liquid or solid form. Today, silk and silk protein hydrolysates are generally expressed as silk protein or hydrolyzed silk in product groups. Therefore, since the amino acids mentioned in all these products are basically obtained from silk fibroin, it is possible to evaluate all of them as fibroin hydrolysate. BUGA-HydroSF, which is water soluble and powdered through chemical hydrolysis, has various application areas in cosmetics and medical foods.
• Medical Devices
o Cell growth
o Tissue regeneration
o Implants
o Prostheses
o Drug delivery systems
o Bioactive coatings
• Dermocosmetics
o Moisturizer
o Anti-aging
o Soothing
o UV protection
o Personal care and hair products
• Veterinary health products (strength-enhancing material)
• Food Industry
• Dissolve the BUGA-HydroSF product in powder form in pure water for use.
• Depending on the concentration required, the product easily dissolves in pure water, providing a solution containing amino acid and peptide groups.
• Store the dry form in conditions that protect it from heat and humidity.
• Store the solution form in environments that are not exposed to high temperatures.
