Comparison of scouring methods for raw silk at constant temperatures

【Supercategory:2. Fiber manufacturing Category:2.2 Fiber manufacturing Subcategory:2.2.3 Texturing】

We performed alkali scouring, acid scouring, and enzymatic scouring of silk at constant temperatures and compared each scouring method based on the change in the scouring loss rate over time. As a result, we found that enzymatic and alkali scouring are best suited to complete scouring, while acid scouring is well suited to partial scouring.
