Eco-friendly Process to Degum Flax Roving with Deep Eutectic Solvent and Microbial Treatment

Flax is an economically important fiber crop, however, it requires degumming to yield usable fibers. The degumming process of flax roving is a key step in flax processing and production. In this study, deep eutectic solvent (DES; choline chloride–urea) pretreatment was combined with microbial treatm...
