Which outcome occurs when water weakens sericin bonds holding Byzantine silk thread filaments during high tension weaving?

💡 Explanation

Increased thread breakage and fabric flaws occur, because hydrolysis breaks the peptide bonds within the sericin protein responsible for holding silk filaments together via interfibrillar cohesion. Filaments separate due to loss of structural integrity giving poor cohesion, therefore the fabric has more flaws, rather than the process resulting in strength.
