• Tensile mechanical properties and surface chemical sensitivity of technical fibres from date palm fruit branches (Phoenix dactylifera L.) (2015, background): “There is abundant evidence in open literature that the production process has a significant impact on the chemical composition of the fibres, upon their lengths and general mechanical properties [11,12].”
• Extraction and characterization of mucilage in Opuntia spp (2007, background): “Malainnine et al. (2003) in O. f. indica cladodes from Morocco, reported an ash content of 19.6%.”
