| contents | Composition and properties of fibre extracted from pseudostem of banana (Musa sp.) S. Shivashankar R. P. Nachane S. Kalpana Agrociencias Banana cultivars Banana cultivars Pseudostem fibre Pseudostem fibre Mechanical properties Pseudostem waste from five commercial cultivars of banana was used to extract fibre in order to study its properties. Fibre was extracted by decortification of sheath either manually or using Raspador machine. Yield of fibre in cultivars varied from 0.548% to 0.891%. There was no significant difference in the yield of fibre from different layers of sheath although differences among cultivars were significant. Cellulose was the major component of the fibre at about 60% while lignin levels were nearly 20%. The strength characteristics of Nendran fibre like, mean breaking load, mean breaking extension and tenacity were comparable to those reported for other naturally occurring plant fibres such as pineapple, jute and sisal. The study highlighted the importance of exploiting banana pseudostem after harvest of banana bunch for fibre production on a commercial scale. 2006 artículo científico 0973-354X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=577064432002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5770 Journal of Horticultural Sciences application/pdf Society for Promotion of Horticulture Journal of Horticultural Sciences (India) Num.2 Vol.1 |
