Abstract
This study explores the underutilized potential of Palmyra palm fruit fibre, focusing on its extraction percentage, wet processing and chemical properties to assess its suitability for various applications. The results revealed that the cellulose is 58.56%, hemicellulose is 16.29%, lignin is 12.87%, pectin is 1.33%, ash is 2.38% and fat/wax is 0.63% for the wet processed fibres. This research paper emphasizes the value of agricultural waste fibers as environmentally friendly alternatives to synthetic materials, highlighting the chemical components, which was the deciding factor for utilization in various textile applications.
