As is known for its culinary and medical properties all the time, thixotropy property of the sericin has never been studied. When placed at room temperature for several hours, sericin solution forms gel. Then, applied a sequential set of shearing forces into the sericin gel, it exhibits reversible gel-sol changes and turns out to be thixotropy. The paper describes the critical gel concentration of sericin solutions, thixotropy characterization and structure. The re- sult indicated that sericin prepared from silk cocoon under high pressure and high temperature can form gel even diluted at concentration 0.3 wt%. The structure of sericin didn’t change after shear action. The regelation process is dependent on concentration and temperature.
