When performing gelation by adjusting the pH, it is better to set it to the acidic side rather than the alkaline side, and in particular, gelation can be quickly achieved by adjusting the pH to near Nakamura, which is the isoelectric point of fibroin. For example, it is preferable to use an organic acid such as citric acid to adjust the pH.
