| Abstract: | In the present scenario of environmental consciousness, the new quality
requirements not only emphasize on the intrinsic functionality and long service
life of the product but also a production process that is environment-friendly.
Therefore, research on environment-friendly antimicrobial agents based on
natural products for textile application is gaining worldwide interest. This
paper reports a comprehensive review on natural product based bioactive agents
such as chitosan, natural dyes, neem extract and other herbal products for
antimicrobial finishing of textile substrates. Different classes of active
ingredients found in extracts of natural products and their mechanism of
antimicrobial action have been presented. The major challenges and the future
potential of application of natural products on textiles have also been
critically reviewed |
