Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The potentiality of jute fibre is very much suitable for diversified end uses. Jute variety of different varieties i.e. O-72 (a new variety) and O-9897 retted by Ribbon retting and Tank retting process were collected from Agricultural Wing of BJRI. The study was conducted at Fibre Chemistry Department, Chemistry Division, Bangladesh Jute Research Institute during 2008-2009. By The determination of chemical constituents we found that O-72 is the jute fibre having higher percentage of fibrous materials ( main chemical constituents) than O-9897 variety, in both cases (Ribbon & Tank retting). In the comparative study we also found that Ribbon retted fibre having higher amount of fibrous materials (Cellulose content ) than Tank retted jute fibre.

Program Area: Knowledge Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To study the intrinsic and extrinsic properties, micro and macro properties of jute and jute products and their modification with physical , chemical, biotechnological and other possible means.

Methodology:

Jute fibres of different varieties (retted by different process i.e. ribbon retting & tank retting) were collected from the Agricultural Wing of BJRI, for comparative study by chemical analysis. Jute samples were cut into small pieces and then ground into powder form by a grinding machine. The following steps were then carried out for investigation of different chemical constituents of the collected jute samples.

Achievement/Findings:

The determination of chemical constituents we found that O-72 is the jute fibre having higher percentage of fibrous materials ( main chemical constituents) than O-9897 variety, in both cases (Ribbon & Tank retting). In the comparative study we also found that Ribbon retted fibre having higher amount of fibrous materials (Cellulose content ) than Tank retted jute fibre.
