“…This fiber length variance is uncommon and can differ widely across different species. For instance, kenaf and jute fibers typically measure about 2-3 mm long, hemp fibers approximately 25 mm, and ramie fibers can extend up to 550 mm in length [22]. The aspect ratio (L/D) of the treated mango fibers, calculated from the obtained data, stands at 182.…”

“…Mango fiber, extracted from the mesocarp and composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, precisely parallels other plant fibers in its constitution [16,17]. Natural fibers are increasingly being incorporated as reinforcements in composite materials [18][19][20] and utilized as primary raw materials within the textile sector [21,22]. The textile industry categorizes fibers into synthetic (manufactured) and natural varieties, with the latter typically encompassing staple fibers notable for their relatively brief lengths.…”

The global textile sector, pivotal to economic development, significantly contributes to environmental degradation, prompting a shift towards sustainable raw material sources. Embracing circular economy principles, this industry is exploring the valorization of agricultural by-products. This study introduces an innovative approach to repurposing mango waste into valuable textile fibers, a byproduct of the fruit processing industry, predominantly generated during juice and jam production. The focus is on the lignocellulosic constituents of mango waste, specifically the peel, seed, and fibrous material, traditionally considered as refuse. Previous research has predominantly utilized mango peel in pectin extraction for food applications, whereas the potential of seed and fibrous content remains underexplored. This investigation endeavors to transform these fibrous by-products into high-value materials suitable for textile manufacturing. The process involved washing, drying, and comprehensive physicochemical characterization of mango fibers, emphasizing lignin quantification, revealing a composition of 12.2% lignin. An experimental design was employed to elucidate the impact of variables such as liquid-to-solid ratio, reaction duration, and sodium hydroxide concentration on lignin dissolution through alkaline hydrolysis. Optimal conditions—10% NaOH concentration, 30 mL/g liquid-to-solid ratio over six hours—achieved an 83% reduction in lignin content. The resulting fibers exhibited properties akin to conventional natural fibers, including a favorable aspect ratio indicative of their suitability for textile applications. A subsequent softening process using propylene glycol enhanced the fibers' spinability, producing a durable, textured fabric ideal for eco-conscious fashion applications, including bags, footwear, and accessories. This research demonstrates the feasibility of converting mango waste into a textile-worthy material and underscores the importance of waste revalorization in promoting sustainability within the circular economy framework.

“…Another treatment was used to extract vegetable fibers: Enzymatic retting. Researchers have used enzymes such as viscozyme L, pectinex ultra-SPL, xylanase, and laccase to extract plant fibers [11]. One of the principal parameters in the enzymatic treatment is the immersion time because it attacks the fiber surface which can modify the mechanical properties.…”

Plant derived natural fibers have been widely investigated as alternatives to synthetic fibers in reinforcing polymers. Researchers over the years have explored many plant fibers using different extraction processes to study their physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. In this context, the present study relates to the extraction, characterization, and optimization of Typha angustata L. stem fibers. For this purpose, desirability functions and response surface methodology were applied to simultaneously optimize the diameter (D), linear density (LD); yield (Y), lignin fraction (L), and tenacity (T) of Typha stem fibers. Typha stems have been subjected to both alkali (NaOH) and enzymatic (pectinex ultra-SPL) treatments. Three levels of process variables including enzyme concentration (10, 15, and 20 ml/L) and treatment duration (10, 15, and 20 days) were used to design the experiments according to the factorial design. Experimental results were examined by analysis of variance and fitted to second order polynomial model using multiple regression analysis. The Derringer's desirability function released that the values of process variables generating optimized diameter, linear density, yield, lignin ratio and tenacity are 20 ml/L and 20 days for concentration of pectinex ultra-SPL enzyme and treatment duration, respectively. Confirmation was performed and high degree of correlation was found between the experimental and statistical values. Moreover, the morphological structure has been investigated by the scanning electron microscope, showing a crenelated structure of ultimate fiber bundles of cellulose composing the Typha fiber. Compared to Typha stem non-treated fibers (TSNTF), Typha stem combined treated fibers (TSCTF), brings to improve mechanical properties. This change in mechanical properties is affected by modifying the fiber structure showing alpha cellulose of (66.86%) and lignin ratio of (10.83%) with a crystallinity index of (58.47%).
