Test methods to determine cotton sugar content and potential processing stickiness are needed to more effectively define cotton quality and for use in process control in textile yarn manufacturing. Qualitative or semi-quantitative methods useful for screening cottons for process control are described and illustrated. Also described are a quantitative reducing sugar test method and two physical stickiness test methods. Relationships among the last three methods are detailed. |
