Development of health care textile substrate using polyphenolic rich plant extracts as green functional

finishing agents

T

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.
