Tururi palm fibrous material (Manicaria saccifera Gaertn.) characterization

Abstract: Tururi (Manicaria saccifera Gaertn.) is a non-woven sac, which protects the fruits of the Amazon Ubuçu palm tree.The aim of this study was to use fibers withdrawn from these sacs and from sac strips -in the natural condition and after discoloration -to determine tensile, weight and regain values; additionally, longitudinal and cross-sections were studied using optical microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was carried out. The tensile results of fibers withdrawn from the sacs were 10·5 ±… Show more

“…Another point is that there is enormous creative potential. Aiming at technology, there is growing international interest in the use of these vegetable fibers, especially as non-conventional materials for the manufacture of composites instead of those made with wood or synthetic materials [3]. Taking in account the obtainment of textile fibers, three palm origins stand out: tucum buriti and tururi.…”
