| Abstract: | Curative finish has been imparted to the
cotton single jersey knitted fabric using extracts of Aloe barbadensis Mill.,
bitter gourd, Cuminum cyminum Linn.
and ginger by microencapsulation using pad-dry-cure method. Based on the copper
content, the above four plants were selected. Microcapsules are produced using
herbal extracts as core and gum Acacia
Willd. as wall material. The presence and the density of microcapsules are
analysed by using Scanning Electron Microscopy. The antimicrobial efficacy has
been evaluated by agar diffusion (SN 195920). It is observed that the
microencapsulated herbal extracts possess a very good resistance for microbes.
And the garments made from those encapsulated fabric showed better results in
curing skin diseases like scabies, inflammatory skin disease, seasonal skin
disease, urticaria and ecgema. |
