Fiber: 3 g in one medium-size banana, per the USDA We’ve mentioned how probiotics help promote a healthy digestive system. But they’re not the only microorganisms that are healthy for your gut. Prebiotics, which are found in bananas — as well as whole grains and artichokes — also hel...
RamieBananaGuanaco KenafCamel Angora Mohair Cashmere Yak Regeneratedcellulosic fibersare made out of cellulose from wood orcotton lint. The most used fibers are viscose, acetate, cupro (very small quantity), andlyocell. These fibers are produced in various titers as filament (endless fiber) orstaple...
Leaf fibers such as sisal are an agave (Agave sisalana) and commercially produced in Brazil and East Africa. The abaca/banana fiber, which comes from the banana plant, is durable and resistant to seawater. Abaca, the strongest of the commercially available cellulose fibers, is indigenous to th...

Review on Natural Fiber Composites: Banana/Hemp Fiber and Its Hybrid Composites The centuries ago usage of composites materials plays important role in industrial revolution. In ancient days Egyptians used straw as reinforcement in clay bricks to build house. With the invented of glass fiber and res...
Eating more whole grains linked to lower heart disease risk: research shows significant health benefits of replacing refined grains with whole grains, even for just one serving of grains per day It gives you about two grams of soluble fiber. Add a banana or even strawberries for another half ...
The fiber in bananas also slows down how your body digests food, which can help you eat less. Have you tried my banana ice cream? 13. CARROTS Carrots are low in calories and contain several vitamins, such as K and B6, as well as beta-carotene. One hundred grams of raw carrots ...
One such application is in the field of composite materials, where coir fiber is used as a reinforcing agent in epoxy resin-based composites. In fact, coir fiber possesses several properties that make it well-suited for the fabrication of composite materials. These properties include high tensile...
Coir has been combined at the fiber stage with materials such as sisal fiber, banana fiber, etc. to increase the strength and pliability of the end product. As reinforcement in polymeric composites, coir fibers have demonstrated a great deal of potential. However, tribo-charcterization of these...
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a renewable thermoplastic polymer matrix and an aliphatic polyester made from lactic acid and has been a key component in producing biodegradable products, making it one of the most promising biopolymers used in the world. Generally, PLA is produced from agricultural source...
