The industrial term for jute fiber is raw jute. The fibers are off-white to brown and range from 1–4 meters (3.3–13.1 ft) long. In Bangladesh, jute is called the "golden fiber" for its color and monetary value. [2] The bulk of the jute trade is centered in South Asia, with India and Bangladesh as the primary producers.
The Sonali Bag, also known as the Golden Bag, Jute Polymer, or Eco-friendly Poly Bag (in Bengali: সোনালী ব্যাগ), is a bag made of a biodegradable bioplastic. It was created in Bangladesh as a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic bags by scientist Mubarak Ahmad Khan .
Many textiles are made of jute, such as yarn, twine, sacking, carpet backing cloth and other blended textiles. It is also used as raw material for cords and strings. [20] In Africa and the Middle East, a different type is grown with the leaves and shoots being used for food while the fibre is considered of little importance. [6]
Corchorus is a genus of about 40–100 species of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae, native to tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. [1]Different common names are used in different contexts, with jute applying to the fiber produced from the plant, and jute mallow leaves for the leaves used as a vegetable.
National Institute of Natural Fibre Engineering and Technology (NINFET), formerly National Institute of Research on Jute and Allied Fibre Technology (NIRJAFT), is an institute under Indian Council of Agricultural Research, Government of India [1] and dedicated to the research of jute and allied fibres leading to the diversified use and industrial growth.
Fiber is the fundamental component of textiles. Testing fiber properties is vitally important. Applications of a fibre are determined by its physical, mechanical, chemical, and environmental properties. Physical properties are those that can be assessed with the naked eye or a microscope. A textile testing laboratory determines the mechanical ...
Mubarak Ahmad Khan is a Bangladeshi scientist and a researcher in jute's commercial uses and possibilities. [1] According to the science-based research database, Scopus, he is considered to be the leading scientist in the study of jute worldwide. [2] [3] He is currently serving as the Scientific Advisor of Bangladesh Jute Mills corporation (BJMC).
More than 50X coverage (over 100 billions of A, C, G, and Ts) of Jute genome-sequencing data were used for the draft assembly. Several open-source and commercial genome assembly and annotation pipelines were used to assemble and analyze the raw data. To validate the draft genome, transcriptome analysis was also carried
