| Abstract: | Methanolic extract of ajwain seeds (wild celery
seed) has been analyzed by GC-MS to establish its chemical constituents. The
extract is found to have good antibacterial property to selected micro-organisms
and hence has been applied on cotton fabric to impart antimicrobial property
and to evaluate its wash durability. It is found that the treated fabric shows
good antibacterial property to both Gram positive and Gram negative organisms,
but has poor wash durability. Hence, to fix the herbal extract on cotton fabric
different techniques, like microencapsulation, cross-linking and a combination
of both, have been employed. It is observed that herbal extract encapsulated
with acacia gum is durable up to 15 normal wash cycles. Herbal extract
cross-linked with a resin is found to be durable up to 10 washes. In both the
cases, fabric lost one of the physical properties like crease recovery angle or
tensile strength. However, a combined technique shows that treated fabrics are
durable up to 15 washes without compromising physical properties. |
