The changes occurring in the dimensions of the cell wall of jute fibres on treatment with 18% sodium hydroxide solution have been examined by light microscopy. As a result of the treatment, the fibres shrink longitudinally and the cell wall thickness increases, the increase being inversely related to the original thickness. These observations are indicative of the movement of the cell wall fibr...

jute modified has been used for adsorption of cr (vi), cd (ii) and pb (ii) ions over a range ofinitial metal ion concentration. adsorption process is done in batch mode. adsorption isotherms ofthe heavy metals on adsorbents prepared were determined and correlated with common isothermequations. it was found that the freundlich isotherm is better than langmuir for explaining thebehavior of adsorp...

Grammothele lineata strain SDL-CO-2015-1, a basidiomycete fungus, was identified as an endophyte from a jute species, Corchorus olitorius var. 2015, and found to produce paclitaxel, a diterpenic polyoxygenated pseudoalkaloid with antitumor activity. Here, we report the draft genome sequence (42.8 Mb with 9,395 genes) of this strain.

In recent years, the improvement of properties of natural fibre reinforced laminates over the pure polymeric matrix has been thoroughly investigated with the aim of providing a possible replacement of E-glass fibre reinforced composites for some large-volume applications. In the present study, the properties of a jute/polyester laminate are compared with those yielded by two E-glass fibre woven...

The maintenance of the quality and storage life of perishable fruits and vegetables is a major challenge for the food industry. In this study, the effects of different temperatures, packaging materials and storage time on the stability of capsaicinoids and antioxidants, such as total carotenoids, ascorbic acid and total phenolic compounds, were studied in three commercially cultivated hot peppe...
