Abstract:

Abstract: While Chinese silk from Bombyx mori ( B. mori ) saw prolific use and distribution for millennia, there remains much confusion among scholars about other types of silk incorporated into historic textiles. This is especially true for muga and tasar, two different types of silk belonging to the Antheraea genus. Muga is a rare semi-domesticated silk produced in small quantities in northwest India and is often misidentified as tasar, which is a “wild” silk produced in larger quantities. This research note explores the hypothesis that the special properties of muga silk, combined with indi

Abstract:

Muga is an exclusive naturally golden coloured wild silk obtained by the Antherea assamensis silkworm species grown in the north-eastern region of India. Although many research studies on Bombyx mori silk can be found, but studies that involve muga silk is uncommon. This article attempts to characterise the muga cocoon of two commercially available crops (Kotia and Jethua) in three prominent muga rearing regions. Reeling studies on these have also been conducted to assess the regional and seasonal influences on silk reelability performance. Kotia cocoons are found to possess better cocoon qual

Abstract:

The sericulture industry provides sustainable income for the rural people and generates higher income; and provides employment to both skilled and unskilled labor (Lakshman et al,.1998). The North Eastern India contributes about 99 per cent of total production of Muga in the country and designated as world monopoly for the golden yellow muga silk. However, there is a lot demand for the non-mulberry silk outside the India. This study aims to examine the share of various North Eastern states in area and production of sericulture, district-wise share in Assam using secondary data relating to area

Abstract:

Muga silk is the most important composite material used in textile manufacturing in India. Muga silk is derived from the Muga silkworms, namely Antheraea assamensis Helfer. The golden yellow silk yarn is the fanciest because it has strange properties like being able to handle different textures well, being bright, and lasting a long time. Fibrin (a fibrous protein) and sericin (a globular protein) are the two most important protein units that make up silk. To make silk usable in the textile business, sericin, a gum, has to be cleaned off the surface of the silk. Generally, surface active agent

Abstract:

India has been the land of the ‘Queen of Textiles’, that is, silk, from a very old time. At present, India occupies the second position in the production of silk in the world, only next to China while occupying the first position in the consumption of the same. Mulberry silk accounts for 69.16% of the total silk production in India and eri comprises of 20.87%. However, in the state of Assam, non-Mulberry silk (eri and muga) occupies the lion’s share (around 99%) in the total silk production, thereby making the sericulture sector of Assam different from the rest of India.

Abstract:

Sericulture is the process of cultivating silkworms and extracting silk from them. The caterpillars of the domestic silk moth (also called „Bombyx Mori‟) are the most commonly used silkworm species in sericulture. Other types of silkworms (such as Eri, Muga, and Tasar) are also cultivated for the production of „wild silks‟. Silk is known as the queen of textiles due to its softness, durability, and luster. Furthermore, the silk fibers provide characteristics that are superior toany other type of fiber (e.g., water absorbency, heat resistance, dyeing efficiency, and luster). This textile is obt

PALF was used to replace conventional materials, aiming to enhance sustainability and preserve cultural heritage. Fabric samples were produced in manageable sizes—for Rani Phi and Muga Phanek. Rani Phi featured a union plain weave with extra weft rayon yarns (242D), traditional motifs, and a color scheme of undyed white warp (silk-50's with Z twist) and creamy weft (PALF yarn-30's with Z twist) with red ornamentation. The fabric demonstr

Extending our previous research on silk–corn zein composites, this study utilizes soy protein—another plant protein extensively employed within biomedical applications—in conjunction with silk fibroin proteins extracted from a variety of domestic (Mori and Thai) and wild (Muga, Tussah, and Eri) silkworm species. By combining these proteins in varying ratios (0%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, and 100%), silk–

Abstract:

Lepidopteran muga silkworm Antheraea assamensis belonging to Saturnidae is an economically important insect geographically endemic to Assam and the northeastern region of India. Like any other insect species, oviposition is one of the most vital aspects of A. assamensis as it allocates the majority of its energy during its lifecycle. Muga silkworm seed production technology has still not been studied much in detail. The demand for silkworm seeds rises during the commercial rearing season in the region, Central Silk Board has established seed production centres to cater for the demand of the se

ABSTRACT: Silk is a biomaterial which is a fibrous protein with remarkable mechanical properties produced in fibre formed by silkworms and spiders. Apart from being a fine biomaterial, it has also been used since past few centuries as sutures in medical surgeries due to its advantages in healing properties and antimicrobial activity to avoid infection. Silk as a material has also been successful in various modern medical areas.1 Here the researchers attempt to study the antimicrobial properties of silk proteins and their potential utility as medicinal agents against the bacteria of the urinary

Abstract:

Muga silkworm (Antheraea assamensis Helfer), renowned for its natural production of prized golden silk, is native to Assam and adjacent regions in North-Eastern India. However, outdoor rearing of Muga silkworms exposes them to environmental fluctuations year-round, resulting in significant crop losses due to insect pests. Notably, pre-seed crops (Aherua and Jarua) and seed crops (Chotua and Bhodia) experience significantly higher losses compare to commercial crops (Jethua and Kotia). This paper presents a thorough analysis of insect pests impacting Muga silkworm rearing, classified according t

Abstract:

Sericulture is an agro-based industry. It is based on cultivation of host plants, rearing of silkworms and production of silk. There are four types of commercial silkworm i.e., mulberry, eri, muga and tasar. Among them, mulberry is only monophagous and the rest are polyphagous. In sericulture, gynandromorphism is too rare. Gynandromorphs are aberrant behaviours or traits that show both male and female features in a certain individual. There are mainly three types of gynandromorph- 1. Bilateral 2. Anterior-posterior 3. Sex piebald. Till now gynandromorphic moth is found only in Tasar, muga, mul

In this work a novel pneumatic artificial muscle is fabricated using golden muga silk and silicon rubber. It is assumed that the muscle force is a quadratic function of pressure. Here a single degree of freedom system is considered where a mass is supported by a spring-damper-and pneumatically actuated muscle. While the spring-mass damper is a passive system, the addition of pneumatic muscle makes the system active. The dynamic analysis of this system is carried out by developing the equation of motion which contains multi-frequency excitations with both forced and parametric excitations. Usin
