Abstract/ Executive Summary:

This year three grades each of white and tossa jute namely, BWC, BWD, BWE, BTC, BTD, and BTE were taken for determining their moisture content and regain of the grades of jute through the year. It was only possible to assess the amount of moisture during October, November and December due to procuring the jute samples. The moisture regain of jute was a found to vary appreciably with the change of the month. It may be concluded that the moisture regain of tossa jute possessed more moisture content and regain that the white jute grades.

Keywords: Moisture regain, White & Tossa grades, Quality ratio

Location: Bangladesh Jute Research Institute

Start Date: 01-01-1995

End Date: 31-12-1997

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To find out the moisture regain of jute of different grades of jute of Bangladesh in different months.

Methodology:

For three grades each of white and tossa jute namely, BWC, BWD, BWE, BTC, BTD, and BTE were collected from pucca bales. For the experiment, the sample was exposed on the open air for 48 hours. The moisture content of the exposed jute were determined by Moisture Testing Oven as per standard test methods. Then the moisture regain were calculated from those results.

Achievement/Findings:

The aim of the project is to measure the moisture content of jute fiber throughout the year (1997) but due to procuring the jute samples. It was only possible to assess the amount of moisture during October, November and December. It is observed from the result more the relative humidity more was the moisture content and regain. As the month of December had less relative humidity than October and November, all the grades of both white and tossa jute displayed less moisture content in December than in the other two months. So, it may be concluded that the moisture regain of tossa jute possessed more moisture content and regain that the white jute grades.
