Characterization of Banana Fibers Extracted with Pectinase from Staphylococcus sciuri

Various methods of isolating cellulosic fibers from banana pseudo-stems including mechanical extraction, steam release, release combined with chemical treatment, and an enzymatic method pectinase Staphylococcus sciuri, were performed. The produced by all the characterized. In this work, we report on breaking tenacity, strength, fiber length, diameter, toughness, linear density enzyme-retted fiber. Banana cellulose isolated retting procedure was comparable in physical properties to cotton also shown FTIR analysis contain cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose. had following characteristics: 161.81 denier, tenacity 38.50 g/tex, elongation 4.03%, diameter 127.02 m, length 191.68 mm.
