2016年1月1日 · Morphological, Physical, Mechanical, Chemical and Thermal Characterization of Sustainable Indian Areca Fruit Husk Fibers (Areca Catechu L.) as Potential Alternate for Hazardous Synthetic Fibers

Areca catechu is a medium-sized palm tree, growing straight to 20 m (66 ft) tall, with a trunk 10–15 cm (4–6 in) in diameter. The leaves are 1.5–2 m (4.9–6.6 ft) long, pinnate, with numerous, crowded leaflets. The seed contains alkaloids such as arecaidine and arecoline, which, when chewed, are intoxicating and slightly addictive.

Others - Plant Morphology: Flower: Inflorescences multiple-branching, creamy-white, fragrant, emerging from the lowest leaf bases, up to 0.7 m long. Fruit: Fruits ovoid, orange to scarlet when ripe with fleshy and fibrous layer, single-seeded, 5 to 10 cm long. Seeds brown, ovoid but flattened at one end. Cultivation

Lipids: The nut contains 8-12% fat that has characteristics comparable with hydrogenated coconut oil. It contains both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Arecanut fat can be extracted by using hexane as a solvent, and the fat can be made edible by refining it with an alkali.

Morphology Seed globose, flattened at basal end, ± 2 cm. in diameter; endosperm deeply and finely ruminate, the ruminations reddish brown when fresh. Crown shaft to 1 m. or more in length, wider than the trunk, bearing a crown of 8–10 leaves.

Morphology General Habit Solitary palm; stem to 15 m. or more, slightly swollen near the base, to 25 cm. in diameter above, pale grey-brown below, rich dark green above in younger parts, with prominent leaf scars 15–20 cm. distant. Morphology Leaves Crown shaft to 1 m. or more in length, wider than the trunk, bearing a crown of 8–10 leaves.

2012年2月1日 · We recognize six species of Areca in East Malesia, including the widespread cultivated A. catechu. Five wild species are accepted, namely A. macrocalyx, A. mandacanii, A. novo-hibernica, A....

2016年1月1日 · Comprehensive characterization of AFH fiber is done to examine its morphological, physical, mechanical, chemical and thermal properties. High cellulose content of the fiber (57.35 wt%) provides better tensile strength (231.66 MPa) whereas the porous surface morphology (40.8 %) ensures better bonding with the matrix.
