  • Patent number: 12161693
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods of preparing stable, solubilized silk fibroin preparations. The methods include providing a processed silk fibroin preparation. preparing a solution of the processed silk fibroin preparation in an aqueous TRIS buffer to provide a fibroin solution, treating the fibroin solution at least at a first pressure of 0 to 30 psi and a first temperature of 100° C. to 135° C. for a first time of 1 to 90 min to provide the stable. solubilized silk fibroin preparation. The stable, solubilized silk fibroin preparation has a molecular weight that changes by less than 33% during the first and optional second treating step, does not form a gel during the first and optional second treating step, remains clear after the first and optional second treating step, or a combination thereof.
