Résumé

Le kénaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) est une plante annuelle, appartenant à la famille des Malvacées, appelée aussi chanvre de Deccan. Le kénaf est connu pour ses vertus médicinales très intéressantes vu les activités pharmacologiques des composées phytochimiques présentes dans les extraits de la plante. Actuellement, le kénaf est surtout cultivé en Inde, au Pakistan et en Thaïlande. En Europe, la culture existe en France, en Italie, en Espagne et en Suisse. Cette plante fait l’objet de plusieurs recherches où on la considère, en plus de ses vertus médicinales, comme une source prometteuse de fibres utilisées pour la fabrication de pâte à papier et dans des secteurs traditionnels tels que le textile, le cordage et l’alimentation du bétail. Récemment, les fibres ont été utilisées dans des nouveaux secteurs tels que la construction, l’isolation et l’automobile.

Abstract

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is an annual plant, belonging to Malvaceae family, also known as deccan hemp. Kenaf is known for its interesting medicinal uses resulting from the pharmacological activities of phytochemicals compound of the plant extracts. Kenaf is grown mainly in India, Pakistan and Thailand. In Europe, the culture exists in France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. It is the subject of research and considered, in addition to its medicinal virtues, as a promising fibre source for making paper pulp and used in traditional sectors such as textiles, rope making and feed. Recently, they were used in new sectors such as construction, insulation and automobile.
