Hydrolyzed silk protein is made by isolating silk thread from the cocoon and cleansing and degumming the fibers. The individual silk fiber is then wound with other silk fibers to create one long thread. The threads are then combed to remove noils which are then used in the production of hydrolyzed silk proteins through controlled hydrolysis.
