The photochemical changes of jute fibre do not appear to be influenced by the uronic acid consti­tuent. The acidic and reducing types of substances, which are generated in the fibre daring irradia­tion, are derived mainly from the lignin component. The acidic reaction products or the constituent uronic acid hive no hydrolytic influence on the fibre, indicating that in the photochemical degradation of jute, acidic components do not contribute to the accelerated degradation.
