Development of a smart farming tool to monitor the degree of dew retting of flax stems. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Flax fibres are a natural, sustainable product which have applications ranging from textiles to composite materials. A process known as ‘retting’ is required to facilitate the mechanical extraction of flax fibres from their associated stems.

An approach to improve the existing ribbon retting of jute fibre using concrete tank and natural catalyst. [PDF]

Heliyon, 2023
The ribbon retting method has been developed as a remedy for the issues associated with the conventional water retting method. But this method has not yet gained popularity among jute growers due to the unavailability of catalyst, inadequate training and

Critical Factors for Optimum Biodegradation of Bast Fiber’s Gums in Bacterial Retting

Fibers, 2021
Bast fiber plants require a post-harvest process to yield useable natural cellulosic fibers, denoted as retting or degumming. It encompasses the degradation of the cell wall’s non-cellulosic gummy substances (NCGs), facilitating fibers separations ...

The sequential microbial breakdown of pectin is the principal incident during water retting of jute (Corchorus spp.) bast fibres. [PDF]

BMC Plant Biol
The extraction of bast fibres such as jute from plant stems involves the removal of pectin, hemicellulose, and other noncellulosic materials through a complex microbial community.

Dry Retting of Jute under Limited Aqueous System Vs Water Based Conventional Retting of Jute: A Comparative Study

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
Jute plant retting is a preferential rotting process in which jute plants are submerged in water and subsequently jute fibers are extracted out by decomposing the cellular tissues and pectin surrounding the fiber bundles through the joint action of water

Effect of Okra Plant Lifespan upon Optical Properties of Okra Fibers

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
The present research study has been made to identify the effect of the okra plant lifespan upon the optical appearance of the yielded fibers. 90 ± 10 days, 120 ± 10 days, and 160 ± 10 days matured crop waste were subjected to two different retting ...
