Retting is an essential step in production and plays a grcat part in determining the value of the product. Bacteria loosen the supporting fibres of the stem by acting on the stem tissues. Retting is a process employing the action of micro-organisms and moisture on plants to dissolve or rot away much of the cellular tissues and pectins surrounding bast-fibre bundles, and so facilitating separation of the fibre from the stem. The amino acids thus, liberated, are utilized by the plant world as nutrient. The harvested plant stalks are spread evenly in grassy fields, where the combined action of bacteria, sun, air, and dew produces fermentation, dissolving much of the stem material surrounding the fibre bundles. Once considered a p Waste material from the first scutching, consisting of shives and short fibres, is usually treated a second time. The lactic acid bacteria lowered the pH of the fermenting medium although they did not bring about retting. The traditional technique of bacterial detection is to take a sample, grow a bacteria culture, and count the bacteria that grow. The stalk bundles are weighted down, usually with stones or wood, for about 8 to 14 days, depending upon water temperature and mineral content. One can choose land retting or water retting.

In double retting, a gentle process producing excellent fibre, the stalks are removed from the water before retting is completed, dried for several months, then retted again. Basic methods include dew retting and water retting. This process is called curing and is followed by ripening. 5 After the retting process, the flax plants are squeezed and allowed to dry out before they undergo the process called breaking. Retting is a process employing the action of micro-organisms and moisture on plants to dissolve or rot away much of the cellular tissues and pectins surrounding bast-fibre bundles, and so facilitating separation of the fibre from the stem. [1], Tank retting, by contrast, employs vats usually made of concrete, requires about four to six days, and is feasible in any season. aeruginosa. Addition of ⦠Utilizing a classical microbiological approach, which entailed enrichment and isolation of pectinase-producing bacteria for downstream use in augmented microbial retting … Regardless of the harvest period, identical evolution of the fibresâ properties was observed during retting. Retting time must be carefully judged; under-retting makes separation difficult, and over-retting weakens the fibre. reproduce. It has also been reported that, addition of highly efficient pectinolytic bacterial inoculum to the retting water reduced the retting time appreciably [7]. This is achieved through retting. Final separation of the fibre is accomplished by a breaking process in which the brittle woody portion of the straw is broken, either by hand or by passing through rollers, followed by the scutching operation, which removes the broken woody pieces (shives) by beating or scraping. Retting process is followedby chemical extraction of fibre. The endobj Retting uses micro-organisms and moisture to break down the stalk separating the individual fibres from the remainder of the stalk. The most important types of bacteria involved in retting process are spore forming bacilli, penicillium sp. Fibre quality in this process was found to enhance around two grades. 1,133,590 discloses a method and apparatus for retting fibrous materials. uuid:28ee45e4-1dd2-11b2-0a00-aa0000000000 or the Corynebacterium sp.
