Jute, like cotton and wood fiber, contains alpha cellulose (~60%), lignin (~13%) and hemicellulose (~20%). It has very little ash and wax content. All raw jute fiber has been "retted" to remove pectins and some lignin, in order to remove the fiber from the stalk core. Jute is attacked by microorganisms easily and will degrade with long term exposure to water or UV. Strong bases will remove soluble hemicellulose.
