Abstract
The present invention provides a biocompatible hydrogel composition comprising glycolipids and silk fibroin (SF) wherein glycolipid is preferably sophorolipids (SL). The said composition is useful in preparation of 3D scaffold for use in tissue engineering, and in the biomedical field. The present invention also provides a process for preparing such a composition and a process for acceleration of gelation time of silk fibroin (SF) in the presence of sophorolipid.
