An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Tussar silk (alternatively spelled as tussah, tushar, tassar, tussore, tasar, tussur, or tusser, and also known as (Sanskrit) kosa silk) is produced from larvae of several species of silkworms belonging to the moth genus Antheraea, including A. assamensis, A. paphia, A. pernyi, A. roylei, and A. yamamai. These silkworms live in the wild forests in trees belonging to Terminalia species and Shorea robusta, as well as other food plants such as jamun and oak found in South Asia, eating the leaves of the trees on which they live. Tussar silk is valued for its rich texture and natural, deep-gold colour, and varieties are produced in many countries, including China, India, Japan, and Sri Lanka.

  • Tussah (zvaný také tasar) je tzv. plané hedvábí ze sekretu housenky Antheraea. Z několika druhů tohoto hmyzu se v 21. století systematicky využívá * Antheraea pernyi (bourec dubový) k získávání tzv. dubového hedvábí zejména v čínské provincii Hunan a * Antheraea mylitta na tzv. tropické hedvábí v indické části podhoří Himálaje. V roce 2011 přišlo na světový trh 23 577 tun surového tussahu, z toho pocházelo asi 90 % od bource dubového a 10 % bylo tropické hedvábí. Velkoobchodní cena tussahové příze (např. 3 tex z čínského dubu) dosahovala v roce 2016 cca 30 €/kg. Housusenka Antheraea mylitta (cs)
