Description

The influence of degree of drying and cocoon cooking conditions on reeling characteristics and quality characteristics of raw silk has been studied using CSR race bivoltine hybrid cocoons. From the results it is observed that degree of drying and cocoon-cooking conditions have significant influence on reelability, raw silk recovery, thread troubles and quality of raw silk. Results indicate that drying of cocoons to the optimum degree of drying and better cocoon cooking conditions are essential for achieving better reeling performance and for the production of superior grade raw silk. Results also reveal that good quality raw silk (of international grade) can be produced from semi-dried cocoons provided cocoon cooking is good with suitable cocoon cooking conditions depending upon targeted raw silk recovery and quality.
