Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was carried out in the laboratory of Fibre Chemistry Department of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute in 1996. Samples of jute fibres of variety 0-9897 of different ages (30-135 days) were collected from the experimental field of BJRI (Agriculture) at Manikgonj sub-station. The major constituents (i.e. alpha cellulose, hemicecllulose and lignin contents) and the minor constituents (i.e. ash, fat contents) were determined by standard methods. The result have been summarized.

Keywords: Jute, Spinning, Chemical, Physical properties

Location: Fibre Chemistry Department, Chemistry Division, Dhaka-1207

Start Date: 01-01-1996

End Date: 31-12-1996

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To study the basic proportions of leaves, sticks, seeds and fibers of jute, kenaf and mesta plants.

Methodology:

Sample Collection: Jute fibres of variety 0-9897 of ages 30 to 135 days with an interval of 15 days were collected from Manikganj Fram of BJRI (Agriculture). Determination of chemical constituents: The chemical constituents like as ash, fat, hemicellulose, alpha cellulose and lignin of the jute fibres of variety 0-9897 (Ages 30, 45, 60, 75 & 90 days) were summarized by the standard methods.

Achievement/Findings:

As per programme it was supposed to determine the major constituents (i.e. alpha cellulose, hemicecllulose and lignin) and minor constituents (i.e. ash, fat contents) of jute fibres of variety 0-9897 of ages: 30, 45, 60, 75, 90,105, 120 & 135 days. Until now we have completed the determination up to the growth ages of 30-90 days. The results of the remaining samples will be communicated along with the data of the next year (i.e. 1997). As it appears in the table the proportions of each constituent in different age growth are almost the same the content of alpha cellulose ranges from 60.28-62.38% with slightly higher value in the higher age.The hemicellulose content ranges from 19.10-20.40% and that of lignin value ranges from 14.44-15.75% in different ages. There is little difference in the fat and ash content of the samples. However, a comprehensive interpretation in this regard will be made when we will have completed the rest of the determinations.
