Efficacy of Aspergillus fumigatus R6 Pectinase in Enzymatic Retting of Kenaf
BioResources, 2016 Enzyme retting can be a viable alternative to water retting, which is the currently utilised method for extracting fibres from kenaf. The advantages of enzyme retting are its greater environmental friendliness, shorter retting time, and more controllable

Carbon footprint and energy use in jute and allied fibre production
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2018 The study examines carbon and energy footprints of jute, kenaf, sunnhemp and flax fibre production systems. Energy productivity was lowest in flax fibre production as compared to other fibre crops. Flax fibre production consumed more chemical fertilizer,
