✦ Synopsis


Bast ribbons from Tainung 1 (TI) and Guatemala 45 (G4J cultivars of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) were subjected to a chemical retting process. The resulting changes at the base and tip regions of each cultivar were analysed using solid-state ' NMR and diffuse reflectance mid-infrared spectroscopies. Chemical retting was performed by boiling the substrates in NaOH (70 g litre-') + NaHSO, (5 g litre-') for 1 h, after which they were neutralised, washed and air dried. This process produced Iarge decreases in the non-cellulosic components, though 25% of the phenolic component was left undegraded, and cellulose crystallinity was increased by -5% over that in unretted samples.
