MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631007545 A) filed by Dr. Shivani Dobhal; Dr. T. S. Mehra; and Dr. Tisu Tayeng, Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh, on Jan. 27, for 'a system and a method for adaptive maceration control based on fibre genetic and anatomical traits for long fibre recovery.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Shivani Dobhal; Dr. T. S. Mehra; and Dr. Tisu Tayeng.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to a system and a method for genotype-responsive maceration and regulated long fiber recovery from lignocellulosic tree biomass. The system combines the analysis of tree genetics and fiber anatomy with adaptive process control to change the chemical, thermal, enzymatic, and mechanical actions that happen during fiber extraction. Genetic and anatomical factors like fibre length, cell wall thickness, and the ratio of lignin to cellulose are used to figure out a fibre resistance coefficient that shows how well the fibre wall can handle stress. Using this coefficient, maceration parameters are changed in real time while keeping an eye on fibre wall stress indicators to keep the fibres from breaking before the structure fails. The disclosed method makes it possible to selectively delignify fibers with enzymes, limit mechanical energy to fibers, and recover and condition fibers with little stress. The invention improves the preservation of fiber length, tensile performance, yield consistency, and resource efficiency by linking biological input characteristics with real-time industrial processing control. It also lowers the amount of chemicals and energy used. The system and method offer a high-tech, scalable way to make long, high-quality fibers in an industrial setting."
