Banana fibers

Catalog	ACMA00030706
Description	Banana fiber is classified as a hard fiber, based on the fact that it includes strands of whole vascular bundles, including xylem, phloem and true fibers. They have more lignified and rougher surface fibers than cotton and kapok and soft fibers such as flax, ramie, jute and hemp. The principal constituents of banana fiber are  cellulose (also called cellulose-1) intermingled with hemi-cellulose (polysaccharides) and lignin.
