2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, silk proteins have been attracting attention from the viewpoint of so-called health promotion from the public opinion that they lower cholesterol, protect the liver, and have an effect on senility. The usefulness of this silk protein has been studied academically (eg, “Chemistry” 47.
(Vol. 8, p. 530-533), fibroin, which is the main component of silk, has a large molecular weight of about 300,000, and is a future technology as a moldable protein and as a material for food, cosmetics, medical treatment, etc. There are great expectations for the development.

For such silk protein, a method for producing such silk protein has been proposed so far. For example, cocoons or raw silk discharged from silkworms are treated with acid, alkali or enzyme to recover silk fibroin. A method for purification (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-177864, etc.), or a method for producing fibroin, in which a silk thread is extracted from a mature silkworm, dried, swollen with water, and washed with water to remove sericin (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-30078).

However, according to the conventional production method, when silk fibroin is obtained from cocoons or raw silk, the obtained silk fibroin has a B-type crystal structure, and therefore, it is processed to be used for foods and the like. It was not efficient to use as an amino acid polymer or oligomer of fibroin suitable for the above or as a powder.

Further, in the conventional method for producing fibroin from a silk thread, a troublesome procedure such as cutting the head of a mature silkworm and removing the silk thread by pressing the abdomen is required, and the method is similarly efficient. It was hard to say that there was. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the drawbacks of the conventional techniques as described above, to provide a new silk protein production method which is easy to handle and enables efficient production.
