Composition and Properties of Fibre Extracted from Pseudostem of Banana (Musa Sp.)

Pseudostem waste from five commercial cultivars of banana was used to extract fibre in order to study its properties. Fibre was extracted by decortification of sheath either manually or using Raspador machine. Yield of fibre in cultivars varied from 0.548% to 0.891%. There was no significant differe...
