What is Effects of Water Retting on Luffa Fibres about?
Luffa cylindrica is an annual climbing plant whose fruit has a vascular network of fibres. These fibres are held together by pectins which degrade during water retting to release the fibres. In this paper, the extraction of luffa cylindrica fibres together with the combined effect of water retting and alkali treatment on its tensile properties are reported. The fibres were extracted from mature fruits of Luffa cylindrica through aerobic water retting process over a duration of 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks.
