Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Jute sample of different varieties i.e a new variety C-2142, 0-9897(mite free) & 0-9897(mite infested) were collected from Agricultural Wing of BJRI. The study was conducted at Fibre Chemistry Department, Chemistry Division, Bangladesh Jute Research Institute in the year of 2006-2008. On the basis of chemical analysis variety C-2142 has been found good quality jute fibre due to presence higher percentage of cellulose content with lower percentage of lignin content than other samples.

Keywords: Mite free, Mite infested, O-9897, C-2142, Chemical constituents.

Program Area: Knowledge Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To study on intrinsic and extrinsic properties of jute and its products and their modifications.

Methodology:

Jute fibre of different varieties, 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. Determination of chemical constituents, i.e. Moisture content: Moisture content was determined by repeated conventional drying of the sample until receiving a constant weight in an electric oven at 105-110 C. Fat/ Oil content: Fat / Oil content of jute samples was extracted with petroleum ether (BP 60-800C) in a Sox let apparatus for 6-8 hours according to a standard method. Copper content: The amount of copper (in percentage) of each rot proof sample was determined by standard method. Cellulose content: The α cellulose and hemi cellulose contents were determined by TAPPI method. Lignin content: Sulfuric acid in soluble lignin in the sample was determined by TAPPI standard method. Ash content: Ash contents were determined by muffle furnace.

Achievement/Findings:

On the basis of chemical analysis variety C-2142 has been found good quality jute fibre due to presence higher percentage of cellulose content with lower percentage of lignin content than other samples. The present programme will help develop analytical aspects of fibre research in both agriculture and technological fields. The results will help to study and evaluate the properties of the fibre for their value-added diversified end uses
