ZI Buhroo, MA Bhat, AS Kamili, NA Ganai, GK Bali, IL Khan and A Aziz

Sericulture is such an activity which can be used for multiple purposes. It implies significant quantities of secondary and waste products such as perforated silk cocoons, Bombyx mori chrysalides, larval dejections, mulberry plant waste, superseded cocoons, surplus mulberry leaf, root and fruits biomass etc,. Therefore, silkworm rearing can now be transformed into the functional industry by processing the secondary and waste products which increase farmer’s income. In order to ensure a profitable activity, it is necessary to process these secondary and waste products to obtain biologically active substances with important uses in various industries. For utilization of by-products generated from sericulture, in-depth research towards utility and optimization is the prime need in placing this industry on a sound footing. This review is intended to focus on recent advances in comprehensive utilization, diversification and value addition of sericulture resources in broadening the sustainability of sericulture industry.
