Using Bacteria Addition and Reusing Retting Water Technologies to Accelerate Flax Degumming

Article Preview

Abstract:

Two pectinase-producing strains, HDYM-01 and HDYM-02, were added into retting tanks to accelerate the water-retting of flax after they were amplified in liquid medium. The results show that the yields of fiber flax retted with bacteria addition are higher than the control, and the difference is significant with F test. When reusing the retting water to the next tank to perform the water-retting with bacteria addition, the yields of fiber flax are also higher and the difference is significant with F test. The retting time would be shortened for 24 hr and the flax strength is raised for 20-30 Newton (N) with bacteria addition method and reusing retting water method.
