Monitoring Chemical Changes on the Surface of Kenaf Fiber during Degumming Process Using Infrared Microspectroscopy

Abstract Degumming is the dominant method to obtain lignocellulosic fibers in the textile industry. Traditionally, wet chemistry methods are used to monitor the evolution of major chemical components during the degumming process. However, these methods lack the ability to provide spatial information...
