Why is it important?
Very little research work has been carried out in evaluating the properties of banana fiber, which would help in its value-added applications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report assessing four different retting processes from the point of view of its industrial application.
Perspectives
I hope this article will be helpful for readers to choose the appropriate extraction method according to their application. We are happy with one of our finding that chemically extracted fibers were reported as the most suitable for making garments by CIRCOT, Mumbai.
