Abstract
Information on the basic properties of Melocanna baccifera (Roxb.) Kurz (Muli bamboo), particularly for pulp and papermaking, is very limited. Since many bamboo species remain unutilized, research is needed to determine their properties so that appropriate technologies could be developed to exploit them. One of such properties which affect the suitability of the species as a pulping material is the proximate chemical composition, which was investigated in a study on Melocanna baccifera (Muli bamboo), the most common bamboo from North Eastern India. Fifty mature culms of M. baccifera were obtained from Forest of Silchar, Cachar District of Assam, India. Samples taken from the top, middle and basal portions were thoroughly mixed and used in the study. Determination of proximate chemical analysis was based on TAPPI methods.
期刊介绍:
Forestry Research is a comprehensive academic journal of forestry science organized by the Chinese Academy of Forestry. The main task is to reflect the latest research results, academic papers and research reports, scientific and technological developments and information on forestry science mainly organized by the Chinese Academy of Forestry, to promote academic exchanges at home and abroad, to carry out academic discussions, to flourish forestry science, and to better serve China's forestry construction.
The main contents are: forest seeds, seedling afforestation, forest plants, forest genetic breeding, tree physiology and biochemistry, forest insects, resource insects, forest pathology, forest microorganisms, forest birds and animals, forest soil, forest ecology, forest management, forest manager, forestry remote sensing, forestry biotechnology and other new technologies, new methods, and to increase the development strategy of forestry, the trend of development of disciplines, technology policies and strategies, etc., and to increase the forestry development strategy, the trend of development of disciplines, technology policies and strategies. It is suitable for scientists and technicians of forestry and related disciplines, teachers and students of colleges and universities, leaders and managers, and grassroots forestry workers.
