Abstract :

 

The present investigation focus on processed  silk fies or optimum condition for their production. Consequently the effect of temperature on the biochemical properties of cocoons are either poorly understood or kept as closely guarded industrial secrets. The variation in the temperature shows the biochemical changes in developmental stages of Bombyx mori, considerable effect on the total free amino acids content in haemolymph. The maximum level of free amino acids (6.96µg/mg) was observed in the haemolymph of Vth instar larval  stage at 26°C temperature while minimum (2.12µg/mg)  was recorded at 14°C temperature in the haemolymph of the adult silkworm.
