The invention relates to the textile industry, and specifically to methods for processing bast-fiber materials, for instance the fiber of flax, hemp, jute, nettle, kenaf, and others. The technical result which the present invention aims to achieve consists in: enhancing the quality of a cottonized fiber, when processing bast-fiber materials, by means of high-voltage electric pulse discharges following preliminary biochemical and final minimal mechanical processing; and in enhancing the physical/mechanical and spinning properties thereof, which, overall, allows for an optimized, efficient production process. Said technical result is achieved in that a bast-fiber material processing method includes a technological sequence of processes involving feeding raw material into a bale breaker, which is provided with a decompactor, and into a dosing system, processing using high-voltage electric pulse discharges, rinsing with emulsifying reagents, washing and press-drying in a drum-type installation, decompacting, final drying and light decompacting; the raw material is biochemically treated prior to being fed into high-voltage electric pulse discharge chambers.

The current invention relates to methods and compositions for converting plant derived biomass to textile grade fibres by an enzymatic single bath method, which does not require draining, refilling or water washes after every treatment. The single bath conversion of raw natural fibres derived from plant based biomass to softer, finer textile grade fibres is an eco-friendly process which is efficient and conserves water. The textile grade fibres produced have same quality when compared to those derived from conventional multi bath process.

The current invention discloses an enzyme-based method for making high quality textile fibres from plant derived biomass. The invention discloses a method for production of high-quality textile grade fibres that have no loss in quality parameters as compared to textile grade fibres made from cellulosic biomass by conventional methods that use harsh chemical treatments. The fibres produced by this method from raw natural fibres can be spun into yarn by automated procedures and the yarn can be woven into high quality fabrics by powerloom as well as handloom.
