Degumming

A major undesirable constituent part of silk is ‘silk gum’ or ‘sericin’ about 25% of total mass. Sericin is removed by degumming. Degumming is the process of removing the sericin, or silk gum, from silk. Removing the gum improves the sheen, color, hand, and texture of the silk. Because the gum can serve as a protective layer, it is typically left on the silk until it is ready to dye. In some cases, the fabric is woven to completion, and then degummed, to protect the yarn from abrasion on the loom. The process involved to remove these impurities is called ‘degumming’ or ‘scouring’ of silk. 

絲綢的主要不良組成部分是“絲綢膠”或“絲膠”，約佔總質量的25％。 通過脫膠除去絲膠。 脫膠是從絲上除去絲膠或絲膠的過程。 去除樹膠可改善絲綢的光澤，顏色，手感和質感。 由於樹膠可以用作保護層，因此通常留在絲綢上，直到準備染色為止。 在某些情況下，先將織物編織完成，然後再脫膠，以保護紗線免受織機的磨損。 去除這些雜質的過程稱為絲綢的“脫膠”或“精練”。
