More controllable retting procedures to produce quality fibers from flax are sought by applying chelators at high pH and enzyme chelating formulations at lower pH. Using the Fried Test as an in vitro method for evaluating fiber separation from shive, EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) at 8 mM...
desiccation, flax, cell walls, rettingApplication of chemical additives to alter the rate of retting of desiccated flax stems was successful. Treatment with ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (EDTA) and urea increased the rate of retting. Increases, in the population of fungal colonisers were ...
retting process. In this process, jute bundles are submerged in clear slow flowing water in canals, tanks, ponds, or ditches with the minimum ratio of plant material to water 1:20. The retting process determines the quality of fiber and ultimately determines the price of fiber.Paridah et ...

Highly flexible and mechanical resistant cellulose fiber with length up to 40 cm, can be extracted from the so-called vermenes of the plant, the branchlets, by mechanical processes, after a preliminary maceration process with bacteria (retting)15 or alkali14,16,17,18. In principle, due to ...
reacts with metal cations, such as magnesium, and forms theCBPC. Because of the evolution of ammonia, it is used for outdoor applications such as road repair material, and hardly any indoor applications have been found for these products. Details of the products will be discussed inChapter ...
