Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The variety BJC-2142 was, blue seeded with lower percentage of oil content than naturally brown seeded but saponification value was higher. Brightness and whiteness index were very much comparable to bleached jute samples using 6% hydrogen peroxide. This work was conducted in Chemistry Division of BJRI at 2007. Cellulose content was 69.81% as well as lignin and hemicellulose content were 13.33% and 17.94% respectively which were more prominent than O-9897 varieties of jute fibres.

Keywords: Brightness, Whiteness, Bundle strength, BJC-2142, Chemical constituents.

Location: Fibre Chemistry Department, Chemistry Division.

Start Date: 01-07-2003

End Date: 30-06-2007

Program Area: Postharvest and Agro-processing

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To study the intrinsic and extrinsic properties, micro and macro properties of jute and jute products and their modifications with physical, chemical, biotechnological and other possible means and analytically studies of jute and allied vegetable fibres.

Methodology:

The matured jute fibre of the variety BJC-2142 was collected from the Agricultural Wing of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute(BJRI). For proper investigation of comparative study, jute fibre of variety O-9897 was also taken as control jute sample. This work was conducted in Chemistry Division of BJRI at 2007. Reed fibre length, brightness/whiteness index, bundle strength fineness etc. were determined according to standard methods followed by BJRI. Chemical parameters were taken on the basis of moisture correction it was very much essential to estimate correct results. Determination of percentage of chemical constituents by standard methods.
