| Abstract: | India has
a rich biodiversity and harbours a wealth of useful germplasm resources and
there is no doubt that the plant kingdom is a treasure-house of diverse natural
products. One such product from nature is the dye. Dyes are one of the most
important uses of the plants. Recently, interest in the use of natural dyes has
been growing rapidly due to the result of stringent environmental standards
imposed by many countries in response to toxic and allergic reactions
associated with synthetic dyes. Nature has gifted us more than 500 dye-yielding
plant species. One such medicinally much used dye-yielding plant species, Woodfordia fruticosa (Linn.) Kurz is
exploited particularly, in perfume, leather and textile industry and believed
to be superior for woolen and silk fabrics. The present study deals with the
extraction of natural dye from this species, commonly known as Fire-Flame Bush,
and their application on textiles. Three different techniques/methods for
extraction of dye from the collected flowers were evaluated to determine the
best extraction method. Three different types of fabrics and three different
types of yarns were used in the experiment to observe the strength of dye. Cotton
Jute mix sample showed dark yellowish brown colour with Myrobalan, dark
blackish brown colour with Ferrous Sulphate, Camel colour with Stannous
Chloride and Yellowish brown with Potassium dichromate. |
