        abstract = {Banana stem is easily collected from banana trees. The stem is used as a waste product and used in domestic cooking purpose. Mainly chemical process is used to collect the cellulose from the lignin. Lignin is separated from the lignocelluloses. It is removed after cutting of banana stem in small pieces and then stem is blowing inside the digester at a high pressure and successive use of sodium hydroxide or sodium sulphide. The fiber is molten and making pulp. This pulp is used to prepare the tissue, bloating and tracing paper. This process of pulp and paper making is economically viable and it is energy saving as sun ray is used for drying purpose.},
