he present study was conducted to investigate the effect of annatto, teak and flame of the forest natural dyes on color, fastness
and antimicrobial property of protein based textile substrate. The color strength (K/S) of wool samples at various concentrations
of dyes were analysed using a Reflective Spectrophotometer. The antimicrobial activity of natural dyes before and after application
on wool was tested against common human pathogens
Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus
and
Candida albicans
by using micro-
broth dilution method, disc diffusion assay and growth curve studies. The structural morphology of natural protein fiber (wool)
was investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Annatto and teak natural dyes proved very effective in inhibiting the
microbial growth in solution phase and after application on wool and resulted in a broad beautiful spectrum of colors with exceptional
fastness properties. The results encourage the search and exploitation of new plant species as source of dyes to replace toxic synthetic
antimicrobial agents currently used in textile industry.
