Abstract
An investigational study is carried out with an objective to have a preliminary understanding on the properties of washed silk fabric by varying the enzyme dosage level and treatment time. From the existing results, it is recommended that the dosage level of the enzyme should be carefully controlled if the industry want to adopt this technology. Otherwise the tensile strength will become too low.
