History

Which outcome occurs when raw components of Byzantine silk production lack sericin degumming before spinning?

A)Weakened fiber tensile strength appears
B)Enhanced dye uptake becomes possible
C)Decreased resistance to microbial decay
D)Increased fibril alignment takes place

💡 Explanation

Weakened fiber tensile strength will occur because the sericin proteins maintain fiber cohesion using temporary HYDROGEN BONDING, therefore silk degumming optimizes individual filament organization and strength, rather than other surface properties.
