Which consequence emerged in 6th-century Byzantium when silk cocoon boiling occurred improperly?

A)Lower thread denaturation temperatures resulted

B)Reduced silk quality and textile strength✓

C)Increased dye uptake during coloring

D)Superior shimmering iridescence was achieved

💡 Explanation

Lower quality resulted because the fibroin and sericin protein matrix was degraded through hydrolysis during poorly monitored thermal PROCESS control during degumming; therefore, the fiber strength became lessened rather than optimal or receptive to dyes.
