A dose of 30 krad found to be suitable for preservation of silkworm cocoons, Bombyx mori for three months in place of traditional heat treatment.

Higher doses of radiation was applied (100-1000 krad) to investigate the keeping quality of irradiated cocoon and find out the effects of radiation on reeling, winding, tensile strength and cohesion test of raw silk
