The Studies on Hydrolysis of the silk Fibroin by Proteolytic Enzyme, Bombyx mori 1. Effect of Various Compositions of Artificial Diet for Silkworms on the Fibroin-Hydrolyzing

견 Fibroin의 효소분해에 관한 연구 I. 인공사료조성에 의한 Fibroin 분해율의 차이

The study was carried out to investigate the effects of various compositions of artificial diet for silkworms on the cocoon shell fibroin-hydrolyzing with the proteolytic enzyme. The obtained results are summarized as follows： 1. It was found that the fibroin-hydrolyzing ratio of the cocoon shell made by silkworms fed with artificial diets was lower than that of the cocoon shell made by silkworms fed with natural diet (mulberry leaf) 2. The amount of soybean meal in the artificial diet was negatively related to the sericin content of cocoon shell but it scarcely affected on the fibroin-hydrolyzing ratio. 3. The increase of sucrose in the artificial diet reduced the sericin content of cocoon shell but it didn't influence on the fibroin-hydrolyzing ratio. 4. A significant difference between male and female silkworms fed with artificial diets was found in the sericin content of cocoon shell but it was not approved in tile fibroin-hydrolyzing ratio. 5. The artificial diet containing 8 per cent of mulberry leaf powder increased the fbroin-hydrolyzing ratio more than that containing 10 per cent of mulberry leaf powder or that containing 8 per cent of mulberry leaf powder and a little of methionine did. 6. The artificial diet for all instars of silkworms increased the fibroin-hydrolyzing ratio more than the artificial diet for 1st to 3rd instars and natural diet (mulberry leaf) for the rest instars did.

인공사료조성차이가 견층 fibroin의 효소분해에 미치는 영향을 구명코저 시험한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 인공사료육잠견의 fibroin효소분해율은 상엽육잠견에 비하여 낮은 수준에 있다. 2. 인공사료의 soybean meal함량과 견층 fibroin효소분해율과는 거의 상관이 없었으나 견층 sericin함유량과는 부의 상관이 인정되었다. 3. 인공사료의 sucrose함량과 견층 sericin함유량과는 부의 상관이 있었으나 견층 fibroin효소분해율과는 상관이 인정되지 않았다. 4. 인공사요 육잠견의 자웅별로 fibroin효소 분해율에서는 유의차가 없었지만 Sericin함유량은 자＞웅이었다. 5. 인공사료 조성에 있어서 상엽분말을 8％함유한 구는 10％구와 8％구에 methionine을 첨가한 구에 비하여 fibroin효소분해율이 높았다. 6. 1령부터 3령까지 인공사료와 4 및 5령은 상엽사육잠견의 fibroin효소분해율은 전령 인공사료육잠견에 비하여 높았다.
