Chemical Characterisation And The Effect Of Alkaline Pulping Of Malaysia Cultivated Kenaf (Hibiscus Cannabinus)

A comprehensive study is carried out on the chemical composition of the bast and core of the Hibiscus cannabinus (kenaf) cultivated in Malaysia. The changes in the whole stalk chemical composition due to different plant age are also examined. In comparison to the kenaf planted in Malaysia and differ...
