Abstract
ObjectiveIn the present study to evaluate the anti fungal activity of natural dyes against traditional products affected fungal pathogens. MethodsMany traditional craft products affected fungal pathogens were isolated using potato dextrose agar medium. The isolated fungus were identified by morphological and microscopically characterization using Alexopolus manual. 50μl of Turmeric, Terminalli, Guava and Henna natural dyes were poured into the wells of the culture plates. If antifungal activity was present on the plates, it was indicated by an inhibition zone surrounding the well containing the natural dye. ResultAt a dose level of 50μl of terminalli dye was able to inhibit the growth of all the fungi tested. The absorbance rate of natural dyes analyzed by UV Spectrophotometer. The absorbance rate is high in terminalli (2.266) and turmeric (2.255). ConclusionsNatural dyes were bound with traditional products to give good colour and good antimicrobial activity against isolated fungal pathogens
