History

Which processing outcome results when silk thread experiences excessive sericin hydrolysis?

A)Increased fiber tensile weakness
B)Enhanced dye uptake uniformity
C)Reduced fabric fray susceptibility
D)Improved luster light reflectance

💡 Explanation

Hydrolysis (reacting with water) removes sericin gum, causing substantial fiber debonding; therefore, tensile weakness develops because the structural integrity diminishes, rather than enhancing dyeing or luster, which depend on fiber cohesion.
