Cultivation Strategies of Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) as a Future Approach in Malaysian Agriculture Industry

“…[ [28][29][30]32] In addition to its many practical applications, kenaf is also a highly sustainable crop. It requires less water and pesticides than other crops and can be grown in areas that are not suitable for other types of agriculture.…”

“…Unfortunately, climate change has caused unexpectedly heavy rainfalls. As a result of the waterlogged soil, kenaf crops have been either stunted or destroyed [32]. Figure 6 shows the milestones of Kenaf as a new commodity in Malaysia.…”

“…High cell density sometimes results in a decline in the oxygen transfer coefficient, aggravating this issue. The geometrical and operational characteristics of the reactor vessel, the aeration rate, the agitation speed, the fluid hydrodynamics, the cell type, the media composition, the morphology, and the concentration are all very significant aspects of reactor design that must be considered in order to achieve a high volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (kLa), which is influenced by a variety of factors and is essential for supplying oxygen to the medium [32,53]. Although plant cells use less oxygen than bacteria do, oxygen transport restrictions also provide a challenge for cell cultures with high cell densities.…”

“…Kenaf has a variety of medicinal properties that are extremely important to both human and animal health as kenaf contains bioactive compounds, including anticancer, antioxidant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypercholesterolemic, aphrodisiac, and hepatoprotective activities [13,25,42]. According to Muhammad et al [32], the kenaf plant parts are not fully exploited, including kenaf seeds. Untapped potential exists for using kenaf seeds as a source of food-based products [19].…”
