 The study presents a method to determine the mean microfibrilla angle, MFA, of dry and matured cellulosic fibers extracted from cocoa's newciferous fruit using x-ray diffraction, which is compared statistically with the MFA obtained during tensile testing. The results show that the mean MFA value obtained through x-ray diffraction is 27.32 plus or minus 0.41 degrees, in agreement with the value obtained from the global strain equation, but with a slight disparity due to non-uniform fiber cross-section and external pulling forces. This technique is simple, inexpensive, and fairly accurate without cumbersome processing. This article was authored by Birika and Binogaraja Ganesh.
