Influence of the chemical composition of kenaf bast and core on the alkaline pulping response

Journal of Wood Science, 2001
The bast and core of kenaf,Hibiscus cannabinus L., have markedly different chemical components and alkaline cooking responses. The bast had about double the hot-water extractives content and only about half the lignin content of the core. The core contained a large amount of hemicellulose, mostly composed of xylan.

Preparation of nanocellulose directly from kenaf bast: The change in particle size

BioResources, 2018
Producing nanocellulose from lignocellulosic plants is difficult but can be achieved with microwave-assisted treatment. However, the changes in dimensions during the process have not been investigated thoroughly. In this study, kenaf bast was used to produce cellulose nanofibers using microwave, chemical, and ultrasonic treatments.

Characterization of Bio-Retted Kenaf (Hibiscus Cannabinus L.) Bast Fibre

Jurnal Kejuruteraan
The bio-retted kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) bast fibres offer significant advantages over synthetic fibre regarding their being lightweight, environmentally friendly, and cheap. During the characterization procedure, the chemical composition as well as the physical, thermal, mechanical, crystallinity, and morphological properties of bio-retted kenaf (
