Abstract

Cooking of tasar silk cocoon of Deba variety (A. mylitta D.) with tartaric acid has been optimized by using an orthogonal central composite design. Shell weight loss and silk filament recovery are influenced by duration of treatment and acid concentration. Mechanical properties do not change with the process parameters. Hardness of water does not affect significantly the recovery of silk filament.

인도 Daba 작잠 품종 고치에 대하여 주석산을 이용한 고치 삶기 방법이 적정화가 시도되었는데 고치층 감모율과 고치의 실켜기 길이는 주석산 처리 시간과 처리농도에 영향을 받았지만 고치실의 기계적 성질은 처리 조건 범위 내에서 차를 보이지 않았다. 또한 고치 삶기 용수의 경도는 작잠고치의 실켜기 길이에 크게 영향을 주지 않았다.
