← HistoryWhich consequence occurred frequently in early Byzantine silk production when temperature controls were insufficient during cocoon boiling?
A)Iridescent colors became permanently dull
B)Filaments tangled, raising reeling tension✓
C)Dye uptake was reduced significantly
D)Silk moths emerged prematurely from cocoons
💡 Explanation
Increased silk reeling tension occurred because uneven heat applications introduced thermal gradients during boiling, a type of Heat stress changes the fibroin structure; therefore tangling increased, rather than altered colors or dying factors.
