These segmented parts werecharacterized as low amount of lignin (12.8–16.1%) and moderate amount of α-cellulose (31.6–43.3%) and relatively high amount of ash (7.6–19.1%), alkalisolubility (32.4-51.4%) and water solubility. The morphological properties of thebanana plant, in terms of fiber length and width were found to be a medium fiberwith high slenderness ratio.
