A seed processing system for cottonseeds includes a fluid distribution system configured to sequentially dispense an acid solution, a base solution and a rinse liquid onto the cottonseeds. A seed applicator system defines an interior configured to hold the cottonseeds and receive the acid solution, base solution and rinse liquid dispensed from the fluid distribution system. The seed applicator system includes a rotor configured to agitate the cottonseeds in the interior as the acid solution, base solution and rinse liquid are dispensed onto the cottonseeds to effectuate mixing.

A production method of hemp fiber for spinning, the method including: an immersion treatment process of immersing raw hemp fiber in a treatment liquid including an alkali, water, and at least one type of enzyme selected from the group consisting of cellulose-degrading enzymes and glycosidic bond hydrolyzing enzymes for an immersion time of from 30 minutes to 60 minutes under conditions of a temperature of from 60 C. to 100 C.; a water-washing process of washing the immersion treated hemp fiber with water; and a drying process of drying the water-washed hemp fiber.

Disclosed is a dean production method for bamboo fibres, comprising the following steps: bamboo pieces are separated into filaments, and the filaments are twisted into ropes to obtain rope-shaped bamboo filaments; the rope-shaped bamboo filaments are refined by means of multiple alternating cold-hot treatments and rolling and rubbing to obtain coarse rope-shaped bamboo fibres (wherein same can be directly put into a drying device and then made into coarse bamboo fibres for a composite material); the coarse rope-shaped bamboo fibres are subjected to continuous biological degumming to obtain the rope-shaped bamboo fibres; the rope-shaped bamboo fibres are fed into a cleaning device for repeated cleaning, rolling and drying are performed, and then spraying-type oiling is performed to obtain thin rope-shaped bamboo fibres; finally, the thin rope-shaped bamboo fibres are subjected to opening and carding to make bamboo fibres for a textile material.

A process of preserving tissue from one or more plant, fungus or algae species is provided. The process comprises treating such tissue by subsequent steps of (i) incubation with a weak acid solution; (ii) removal of excess acid; (iii) incubation with an aqueous sugar alcohol solution; (iv) removal of excess sugar alcohol; and (v) drying. Also provided is a textile material having a sheet like structure, and characterized in having an average thickness of about 0.2-5 mm and comprising about 2% to about 20% sugar alcohol.

Textile fibres and textiles produced from Brassica plants retain properties that are favourable for textile manufacture. Also described are textiles manufactured from the textile fibres produced from the Brassica plants which exhibit properties that are favourable for apparel and domestic applications, as well as industrial applications. Methods for producing the textile fibres from Brassica plants are further described.
