Abstract

sp., while food coating trials on tomatoes significantly reduced weight loss and microbial contamination. Biocompatibility was further verified through hemolysis and MTT assays, confirming SS-AgNPs' safety for biomedical and food-related uses. This study underscores the potential to convert sericin waste into a valuable resource, promoting sustainability and increasing the commercial value of sericulture.
