The scientific reason for the process of retting in jute stem is to separate the fibres from the woody part of Jute.
Explanation:
- The process of retting can be defined as employing the action of micro-organisms and moisture on plants to separating the fibres from the woody and non-fibrous parts of the Jute stem.
- It’s a mechanical process in which fibres are extracted, dried and then eventually put into processing.
- Absorption of water in the jute stem is the most integral part of this process as it makes the stem moist and easily lets the fibres be separated.
- This is a process that takes at least 8 days and it is been done nowadays with more advanced processes like ribbon retting.
